First rental property under contract

I have been in the background on BP trying to learn all I could absorb for our investing.  We are now under contract for our first rental property and have tenants in place that will be moving out 3-4 days after we close.  The current owner didn't use a formal walk through check list, but said he looked for clean when tenants vacated. There is a lease in place that starts 10 days after the current lease expires and I want to be sure to start out on the right "foot" with the tenants.  I'm hoping some can share or tell us from your experience any items that are crucial to include on the following:

List for tenants departing,  check list for cleaning etc.

Walk through check list new tenant.

Hand out to educate new renters for what is expected, rent payments to be sent/deposited to: (new owner). 

Thank you all for your help!
