4. After initial lease signing but before the tenant begins occupancy,
the landlord shall offer the tenant the opportunity to inspect the
premises with the landlord or the landlord's agent to determine the
condition of the property. If the tenant requests such inspection, the
parties shall execute a written agreement before the tenant begins
occupancy of the unit attesting to the condition of the property and
specifically noting any existing defects or damages. Upon the tenant's
vacating of the premises, the landlord may not retain any amount of the
deposit or advance due to any condition, defect, or damage noted in such
agreement. The agreement shall be admissible as evidence of the
condition of the premises at the beginning of occupancy only in
proceedings related to the return or amount of the security deposit.
