## Move-In or Rental Notes
- Existing condition photos:
- Landlord or property manager request dates:
- Permission needed before repair or paint:
- Items to remove from a shared copy:

## Safety and Escalation
- Work that needs qualified help:
- Warranty, lease, or landlord notes:
- Receipts, manuals, photos, or model numbers to save:
- Urgent issues that should not wait for the recurring checklist:
- Gas, electrical, structural, roof, water intrusion, mold, pest, or major plumbing concerns to route outside this log:

## Boundary Reminders
- This log organizes evidence and reminders; it is not repair, safety, legal, insurance, or code-compliance advice.
- Keep alarm codes, door codes, private account numbers, and full payment details out of shared copies.
- If a task creates safety risk or needs a licensed professional, record the issue and escalate instead of treating it as a checklist item.
