Move Out Walkthrough/Inspection

If they stay after their lease ends without paying, you have a right to evict them through the normal court procedure but there is no self-help eviction allowed, so no you can't just enter the apartment with no notice. (If they pay and you accept it you will be deemed to have entered a month to month tenancy agreement).

I am not aware that a move out inspection is required to be done in the presence of the tenants and I have never had a landlord do that with me as a renter.

When I was a renter I would have always preferred a mutual walkthrough, then items can be discussed on the spot. But normal course is inspection after leaving....and there were always bogus things eating in my security deposit that weren't worth fighting for after the fact.

Even as a landlord, a mutual walkthrough and settling things on the spot seems preferable to going backwards and forwards on any issues discovered.

As a renter, I've had it done both ways.
