Lease document checklist

Register

What you want in hand before keys change hands, worked through one document at a time.

The pile before the keys

Every tenancy starts with a small pile of paper that has to be complete before somebody gets a key. This is that pile as a list, with who is chasing what and whether it came back.

Suggestions, never requirements

It opens with ordinary items so the page is not empty, and it says plainly that they are suggestions. Nothing here states that a document is required by law, because this product does not know what your jurisdiction requires.

It determines nothing

No lease is written, no document is checked, and nothing is declared legally sufficient. It is a record of what you collected.

Alongside this: Move-in checklist · Rental application · Condition report

A checklist you control. The suggested items are ordinary practice and are not statements of legal requirement; CompliMaint writes no lease, checks no document, determines no legal sufficiency and gives no legal advice. Everything runs on your device.

Questions people ask

Are these documents legally required?
No, and the tool says so where you are about to type. The list it opens with is ordinary practice. What a tenancy actually requires depends on your state, your city and your lease, and this product has not researched any of them.
Does it write the lease?
No. It generates no document at all. It is a list of what you are collecting and whether it has arrived.
Can I change the starting list?
Yes — that is the point. Every suggestion arrives as an ordinary row you can rename, reassign or delete, and anything you add behaves the same way.
Does it check the documents?
No. It records that you received something and what you saw. It reads nothing, verifies nothing and determines nothing about sufficiency.
How is this different from the move-in checklist?
The move-in checklist is about the unit and the resident on the day. This is about the paperwork, and it usually starts earlier.
