l2ridehd's list covers just about everything and it sounds to be in a logical order. Nice job.

A couple of things I would add and to the list. Listing things by room is great but for a new renter the light and wall switches may be a little confusing. Some may be 3 way switches while others may control an outside light. A description of what switch does what would be very helpful.

Another thing you may want to add or let the renter know about are solar tubes if you have them. I rented one place and was leaving to go to the square soon after I got into the property and I must have spent 20 minutes trying to find out what switch turned out the light over the kitchen sink. Yes after 20 minutes of frustration it dawned on me that it was a solar tube lighting. Don't even ask how many times I reached for the light switch to turn off the solar tube in the master bath or master closet.
