[wa] Would I Be Responsible For Damages In An Apartment If No Move In Inspection Was Done?

Card image cap

I moved in during the COVID pandemic, and we never did a walk through. I have no intention of leaving the apartment in a poor state, but there was some pre existing things that I don't want to be responsible for (mold, cracks in vinyl flooring, damaged cupboards/drawers)

In my lease, neither me nor the apartment manager at the time signed the section for the move in inspection checklist, and it has the following text:

" By signing below, Residents acknowledge that Residents have inspected the Leased Premises, and that all items within the Leased Premises will be assumed to be in good condition unless otherwise noted on this form. Furthermore, Residents acknowledge that no signs of bedbugs or other pests are present, and that the Leased Premises are in a decent, safe and sanitary condition. Residents hereby accept this form as part of the Residential Lease Contract and agree that it accurately reflects the condition and cleanliness of or existing damages to the Leased Premises. This form is not deemed received by Owner unless it is signed by Owner or an authorized agent of Owner"

What can I expect when moving out? I don't really want to lose my security deposit or have extra bills tacked onto me...
