Yukon move-in and move-out inspection checklist

What to document to support a damage-deposit claim or defence.

Before occupancy

Obtain the Yukon condition inspection template, document fixtures, cleanliness, pre-existing damage and appliance condition, and give both parties a copy.

The landlord and tenant must complete a move-in condition inspection together, and the landlord must give the tenant a copy within 14 days of the inspection. Record the agreed condition, date and both parties’ signatures. Save evidence showing when the report was delivered.

At move-out

Arrange a meaningful inspection opportunity and compare against the move-in report. Separate ordinary wear from damage caused by the tenant or guests.

The landlord must offer the tenant at least two good-faith opportunities to participate in the move-out inspection. Failure to follow inspection requirements can affect the right to recover a deposit or claim for damage; arrange an authorized representative if you cannot attend.

Dispute evidence

Keep receipts, date-stamped photographs, inspection scheduling communications, forwarding address proof and any written agreement about deductions.
