Just moved into a new rental in Colorado? Don’t unpack too fast—your first 72 hours are crucial.
If you skip this one step, you could end up paying for damage you didn’t cause. That’s why we created this move-in checklist: to protect your deposit, document your space, and avoid future disputes.
🛑 Why the Move-In Checklist Matters
Most landlords (including us) inspect before you arrive, but we can’t catch everything. A small scratch, missing blind, or leaking faucet might go unnoticed—unless you document it.
If it’s not reported now, it could come out of your deposit later. That’s why we require all tenants to:
✔️ Complete their move-in checklist within 72 hours
✔️ Submit photos and notes to office@integrityrealtymanagement.com
🛑 Don’t assume small damage doesn’t matter.
✅ Take photos. Send notes. Protect your wallet.
📸 Pro Photo Tips
Don’t overthink it—just document what you see.
- 📷 Take wide shots of each room
- 🔍 Snap close-ups of any damage (cracks, stains, etc.)
- 🗂️ Label files by room:

We’ll keep your photos on file for future reference.
