Tenant Move-Out Checklist
Moving out of a rental? Check what usually costs you your deposit, what counts as normal wear and tear, and what to fix first.
- Holes, adhesive marks, mould, stained curtains and broken fittings are common deposit deductions.
- Light scuffs and fading from normal living are usually fair wear and tear, subject to your tenancy agreement.
- Handover packages are $298 for a studio or 1-bedroom, up to $688 for a 4 to 5-room HDB.

How the checklist works
Landlords commonly deduct for holes, adhesive marks, mould, stained curtains and broken fittings, while light scuffs from normal living are usually fair wear and tear. Your tenancy agreement and the condition at move-in decide what you must restore, so this is general guidance, not legal advice. See our handover packages and hole repair.
