First apartment move-in system
Move in with proof, not just boxes.
A printable binder and editable Excel tracker that help you plan the move, photograph every room, record the starting condition, and keep landlord follow-up in one place.
One-time purchase. Secure checkout by Stripe. PDF + XLSX download.
Why this is different
Most move-in lists stop at toilet paper.
This kit includes the ordinary planning tools, then goes further: a room-by-room condition log, photo index, sent-notice record, and repair follow-up trail.
Walk the empty unit
Check doors, walls, floors, windows, appliances, plumbing, outlets, detectors, and heating or cooling before furniture hides them.
Link every photo
Use stable photo IDs so each condition note points to a specific file instead of a camera roll you cannot search later.
Preserve the follow-up
Record what was sent, when, to whom, which evidence was attached, and whether the issue was acknowledged or resolved.

Questions
Plain answers.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an organizational tool. Your lease, landlord forms, state/local rules, and required deadlines control.
Does it guarantee my deposit will be returned?
No. It helps you preserve a clearer record, but it cannot control the lease terms, local law, the unit's later condition, or a landlord's decision.
What software do I need?
The PDF opens in standard PDF readers. The workbook is an XLSX file for Microsoft Excel and compatible spreadsheet apps.
Can I share or resell it?
Your purchase is for personal use. Please do not resell, redistribute, or post the files publicly.
What if a file does not open?
Email [email protected]. We will help repair the download or provide a working replacement.
The official-source notes inside the files include HUD housing references and USAGov address-change guidance. The kit intentionally avoids jurisdiction-specific legal claims.
