Note that new laws state that the tenant has the right to request move-in and move-out inspections and be present during these inspections. This is to help avoid Security Deposit deductions which aren’t caused by their negligence or actions.
When the Sublessee takes possession of the Premises, they have:
Requested a move-in inspection, and the Sublessor and Sublessee will both be present at this move-in inspection to take a detailed accounting of the condition of the Premises. Any defects, including but not limited to water damage, material defects, and required repairs, will be made note of and cannot be deducted from the Security Deposit.
Not requested a move-in inspection, with the complete understanding that this can bear a risk to the Security Deposit, and in full knowledge that they have chosen to take on this risk.
