Initial inspection conducted with the landlord:

The move-out inventory serves as a sort of final assessment: its primary purpose is for the landlord to verify that there has been no damage to the property or its furnishings. For you, this document will protect you from any potential claims by the landlord regarding damage that occurs after you’ve moved out.
