Make a copy for yourself and your landlord/manager. Return a copy to your landlord within a week of moving in or when your lease states that it is due. Keep your copy handy as you will want to have your copy in your hand when you move out to compare it with what you are charged for. In most cases you need to submit in writing to your landlord, 7 days or more before you move out,  a request that you are present for the final walk through. They are required by law to accommodate your request. Physically being there as your landlord inspects your apartment, going room to room with him/her can save you money. Discuss what is being deducted and get a copy of the final walk through. You should receive an itemized deduction sheet and your remaining security deposit within 45 days.
Tenants: Fill out this form carefully. It will help protect your security deposit. Carefully note the exact condition of each item; be descriptive. Append as many sheets as necessary to fully inventory the apartment. Take photos, take your time...it's your money.
