A Massachusetts move-in/move-outchecklist is used by landlords to report material damage in a rental unit and note any necessary repairs or cleaning. By examining the condition of the property at the beginning and end of the lease, the landlord can determine if they need to make any deductions from the security deposit for damage the tenant caused.
