How do you do Walkthrough with new tenant of property?
Newbie landlord have my second tenant moving in Saturday. The first rental I had a real estate company find tenant and handle transaction, this one I am doing everything myself. During the walkthrough on the first property we really just walked through with the tenant and I took notes on any damaged items they noticed. Noting was signed no documentation, etc.... I was just checking on what others do on a walkthrough, do you have a standard form both parties sign? Do you do the walkthrough before they start to occupy the property? The tenants are moving from out of state, I have met them, I have security deposits and first months rent, I would like to do the walk through before they start moving everything in just in case they do any damage moving in, but same token don't want to hold them up.
Thanks
