Lease Inventory and Handover Record
A lease handover inventory should identify the premises and list furniture, appliances, keys, meter readings and existing damage with dated photos; vague descriptions make later deposit disputes harder to resolve.
Both parties should sign or otherwise acknowledge the same version at move-in and move-out. Record additions, removals and repairs during the tenancy rather than reconstructing them at the end.
Separate normal wear from tenant-caused damage and link any deduction claim to the signed condition record, evidence and documented cost; the deposit itself is not proof of a loss.
Treat a lease as a file of obligations, not merely a page stating monthly rent. Verify landlord and tenant identity, the property description, term, rent, due date, security, handover, expenses, notices and every later annex or amendment.
Do not close “Lease agreement records Workflow Guide” as complete until the evidence/status/action matrix is filled. For the workflow, another reviewer should be able to reproduce the conclusion.
A lease inventory proves condition, not merely the presence of furniture
A rental inventory separates “what is in the unit” from “what condition it was in when possession changed.” For each material item, record description, quantity, condition and known defect, with photographs tied to the inventory date. Appliances can include make, model or serial reference where useful; keys, cards and remote controls should be counted because end-of-lease disputes often concern quantity and condition rather than the item name.
Record electricity, water and gas meter readings where applicable, any prepaid-service balance, and bills still attributable to the period before handover. Walls, flooring, windows, doors, kitchens and bathrooms should show existing marks or defects so an old condition is not later attributed to the incoming tenant. In a furnished property, landlord-owned items should remain distinguishable from possessions the tenant brings in after handover.
At exit, use the initial inventory as the baseline and document the difference, distinguishing ordinary wear from damage that needs evidence and a repair cost. Party signatures, or at least evidence that the inventory and dated images were delivered to the parties, reduce later disputes about timing. Link the inventory to the lease, exact unit and key-handover date so it cannot be confused with a previous tenant or a similar apartment.
