Our Move-In/Move-Out Inspection Services

Move In Inspections

We provide detailed inspection services to protect your investment and promote fairness:


  • Pre-Move-Out Inspections: Offering tenants the opportunity to request an initial inspection within two weeks before moving out, allowing them to address any issues and avoid potential deductions from their security deposit.


  • Move-In Documentation: Taking comprehensive photographs of the rental unit immediately before or at the inception of the tenancy, as mandated by California law effective July 1, 2025.


  • Move-Out Documentation: Capturing time-stamped photographs of the unit after the tenant moves out but before any repairs or cleaning commence, in compliance with California law effective April 1, 2025.


  • Post-Repair Documentation: Taking additional photographs after any necessary repairs or cleaning are completed, ensuring a clear record of the property's condition.



  • Itemized Security Deposit Statements: Providing tenants with an itemized list of deductions, supported by photographic evidence, within 21 days after move-out, as required by California law.
