A move-in bedroom inspection checklist
Bedrooms contain surfaces, doors, storage, curtains, lights and furniture that can be hidden once you move in. Record the baseline first, using wide context photos and close-ups for visible issues. RoomLedger organizes rooms, inventory, notes and timelines; it is not an electrical, mould or structural inspection.
Start with context
Photograph the room from the doorway, then capture walls, ceiling, floor, windows and the area behind the door. Add the date and note anything you could not reach. Avoid filters that change colour. Separate items supplied with the property from your own belongings.
Describe what you see
Use neutral terms such as scratch, dent, stain, crack, peeling, damp mark or missing fitting. A wide image shows location; a close image shows detail. Do not infer the cause or responsibility from a photograph. Report unusual moisture or odour through the agreed channel.
Record fixtures and furniture
List doors, locks, handles, rails, curtains, wardrobes, beds, desks, lamps and accessories. Add brand, model or serial when useful, and mark anything not tested. In RoomLedger, create a separate item for each issue and connect the original photos. Start RoomLedger.
Prepare the report
Connect photos, inventory and notes to the bedroom room. Export a readable PDF and keep the original files or ZIP for later comparison. Check that the report opens and remove private information before sharing. At move-out, repeat the same angles where practical and record changed lighting or furniture.
Note: RoomLedger organizes evidence but does not determine deposit responsibility, legal rights or technical safety.
