California and San Francisco · Task guide
Prepare move-in and move-out condition records in San Francisco
California made photographs statutory in 2025: at the start of a tenancy, when possession comes back, and after repairs or cleaning. The initial inspection in the last two weeks is the tenant's right on 48 hours' notice. There is no prescribed form, so the record you make is the record. Choose the stage.
