FAQ
It is a Florida form used by landlords and tenants to record the condition of a rental property at the start and end of a lease. The form helps prevent disputes over damages or missing items by providing a snapshot of the premises and its contents. It includes identification of the landlord and tenant, the leased address, the lease term, a detailed inventory, condition assessments, and a tenant acknowledgment section.
This form does not set or limit security-deposit deductions. It documents the property’s condition before and after occupancy to help determine what is chargeable for damages. The inventory items, and the landlord’s and tenant’s condition assessments, support any claims, but the allowed deductions are governed by Florida law and the lease terms.
This form does not set timelines for security-deposit claims. It documents the condition to support determinations at checkout. For deadlines, consult Florida security-deposit laws and the lease terms, which govern how and when a landlord may claim damages after tenancy ends.
This form does not specify any deposit amount or maximum. It focuses on recording the premises' condition and inventory. The deposit amount is set by the lease terms, and Florida law may govern how deposits are handled; consult an attorney for specifics.
This form helps identify whether damages existed before occupancy by comparing pre-lease and post-lease condition. It does not define negligence. For official standards on landlord duties and potential negligence in Florida, review applicable statutes and seek legal advice.
This form covers both Pre Lease and Post Lease periods in one document, with a detailed inventory, and includes condition assessments by both the landlord and tenant plus a tenant acknowledgment. That dual timing and combined sections help resolve disputes across the tenancy, not just at move-in or move-out.
