2. All the personal property has been removed from the property

3. There is no mountain of trash at the curb unless today is trash day

4. The kitchen refrigerator, range, dishwasher, garbage disposal, etc are all present

5. The furnace, hot water heater and a/c units (including both outside units are present

6. The shed(s) (if any) are still there and have had their contents removed (except possibly lawn maintenance supplies and equipment)

7. The occupant signs a form explicitly stating that any personal property left on the premises may be disposed of in any way the bank wishes

8. The bathroom fixtures including tubs, toilets, sinks, vanities, medicine cabinets, faucets and shower heads are all present

9. The light fixtures are present

10. The kitchen cabinets and counters are present

11. The garage door opener (if any) is present

12. The property has not been damaged or vandalized since the initial visit when cash-for-keys was offered
