Free Walk-Through Checklist Template
A walk-through checklist lets a landlord and tenant inspect a rental together and agree on its condition, usually just before move-in or at move-out. Landlords use it to create a shared, signed record of the unit's condition so there is no dispute later about existing damage or cleaning. Walk each room together, mark each item, note anything that needs attention, and both sign at the end.

Questions
Can this replace a rent receipt book?+
Yes — generate and print receipts as needed instead of buying carbon-copy books. Each receipt is numbered by you, and the rent ledger keeps the running history the book's stubs used to.
What is a rent ledger?+
A rent ledger is a month-by-month record of rent charged, payments received, and the running balance for a tenancy. Landlords use it for taxes and bookkeeping; courts ask for it in eviction and security-deposit cases; tenants request it as proof of payment history.
Is this template really free?+
Yes — the generator, printing, and CSV download are free with no signup. A free account lets you save ledgers; Pro adds Excel export and unlimited saved ledgers for multiple properties.
Will this hold up in court?+
Courts want a clear, dated, month-by-month accounting — exactly what this produces: charges, payments, dates, and running balance in a clean layout. Pair it with your lease and payment evidence (bank records, receipts). For legal advice about your specific case, consult an attorney.
Can I record partial payments and late fees?+
Yes. Each month's row has the amount due, the amount actually paid, and a notes field for late fees or partial-payment details — the running balance updates automatically.
Can I use it for multiple tenants or properties?+
You can generate as many ledgers as you like. Pro accounts keep them saved and organized per property and tenant, so monthly updates take seconds.
Is my data private?+
The ledger is built in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers unless you save it to your account, and saved ledgers can be deleted anytime.
