> Ask for the deposit and move-in money, confirm the tenant's moving day, and do the move-in inspection.

## Ask for the move-in money

Open the lease and its **Move-in** tab (or **Money › Move-in money**, which opens the next lease starting). **Due under the lease** lists first month, security deposit, last month and the total due before keys. Nothing is collected until you post it as a charge:

1. Under **Request the deposit**, check the amount, add a note if you like, and press **Send deposit request**. It is posted on the lease ledger as a security deposit charge.
2. Post anything else due before move-in (fees, and the first month's rent with the type **First month rent**) on the **Ledger** tab with **Add Charge**. See [Collect rent](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/landlords/collect-rent).

The tenant pays these from their **Pay rent** page by card or bank. You need a payout account first: [Set up how you get paid](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/landlords/set-up-how-you-get-paid).

The **Deposit** tab shows what the lease requires, what you have requested, and the deposit's stage (Not requested, Held, Pending closeout, Released). **Money › Deposits** lists the deposits on all your leases. These are records of what was charged and paid under each lease.

## Confirm the moving day

Tenants ask for a moving day from their portal. Open **Maintenance › Move-outs** and its **Move calendar** tab ([Move scheduling](https://app.rentiqa.com/leases/transitions/move-scheduling)) and **Confirm** or **Decline** each request; the tenant sees your answer.

## Move-in inspection

Schedule a **Move-in** inspection under **Maintenance › Inspections**. See [Inspections](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/landlords/inspections).
