Moving out? Check this before the inspection.
When a home is emptied, small marks suddenly become much more noticeable. Here's a simple walkthrough to help you check the right spots, document the condition, and decide what might need attention.

First: get an overview
What happens during a moving inspection?
The landlord usually goes through the condition of the dwelling and documents anything that might need repair before the next person moves in. When furniture and paintings are gone, door frames, baseboards, and door edges become easier to check.
However, this doesn't mean every mark automatically becomes your responsibility. The difference between normal wear and tear and damage needs to be assessed based on how the mark occurred, and the age and condition of the dwelling.
Good to know: You, as a tenant, usually don't have to pay for normal wear and tear. If you're unsure about damage, it's wise to ask your landlord before undertaking a major repair.
A quick tour
Three places that are easy to miss
Walk through the dwelling in daylight. Start where daily life and the move itself most often leave small traces.
Baseboards
Pay special attention to corners and doorways where shoes and furniture often leave scuffs.
Door edges
Open the doors and check the edges. Small scratches can be difficult to see from the front.

Before you hand over the keys
Document everything when it's done
Take pictures or video of the dwelling when it's emptied and cleaned. That way, you'll have a clear record of its condition on the day you left it.
- Compare with the inspection report from when you moved in, if you still have it.
- Photograph each room, floor, doors, baseboards, and frames in good light.
- Save the images along with the date and any communication with the landlord.
- Ask first if you're unsure whether something is normal wear and tear or damage.

Briefly
Frequently asked questions before moving
Do I have to fix all marks?
No. Normal wear and tear is usually the landlord's responsibility, while you may be responsible for damage you have caused yourself. If you are unsure about a specific mark, you should document it and ask your landlord.
Does EzFix work on nail and screw holes?
EzFix is a touch-up paint and does not replace spackle. Holes and deeper damage first need to be filled and prepared correctly before painting.
Will the color match exactly?
An exact match cannot be guaranteed as existing color, gloss, age, substrate, and lighting may differ. EzFix White is warm white and is close to RAL 9010 and NCS S 0502-Y. Always test on a less visible area first.
How do I use EzFix?
Shake well, clean the surface, and apply a thin coat. Allow to dry for approximately 30–60 minutes before applying the next coat if needed. Several thin coats usually give a smoother result than one thick coat.
