Before moving into a rental, review and sign a written tenancy agreement. Walk through the unit with your landlord and complete a Condition Inspection Report, noting any existing damage. Take photos for your records. Pay your security deposit (usually half a month’s rent) and get a receipt. Doing this protects your rights when moving out. Learn more here.
