Close the tenancy against its baseline — same areas re-checked and photographed, with a deduction ledger that turns deposit talk into arithmetic.
Quick answer
Run it at the end of the tenancy against the move-in baseline: the same areas are re-checked and photographed, and a deduction ledger turns deposit talk into line-item arithmetic. Fair wear is not damage — read the ledger alongside the original signed checklist before withholding any deposit.
Disclaimer: a structured settlement aid; deposit scheme adjudication and local deduction rules still govern any dispute.
One-to-one mirror of the move-in baseline scale — unchanged / wear / new damage / deduction proposed.
Deposit arguments are won or lost by structure, not volume. This exit checklist mirrors the move-in record area for area — same rooms, same scale — marking unchanged, new damage or fair wear, attaching exit photos beside entry photos, and listing each proposed deduction against its evidence and a receipt path. Fair for tenants, defensible for landlords, and a document both can sign without losing face.
