About this document

A handover and condition report records the state of a property, room by room, along with meter readings and keys, on the day it is handed over. Done at move-in and again at move-out, it is the best evidence if there is a later disagreement about damage or the security deposit.

Use the Photos + inventory option to add dated photographs and an item list. Everything is made in your browser and nothing you type is stored on our server.

Who signs: Landlord and Tenant (or Seller and Buyer).

Before you sign

  1. Walk through every room together, with both parties present, and take dated photographs as you go.
  2. Switch on lights, fans, taps, geyser and appliances to check that they work, and note any that do not.

After you print

  1. Both parties sign every page and each annexure page. Keep one original each.
  2. At the end of the tenancy, repeat the walk-through and compare it with this report.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the photos need to be signed and dated?

Signed and dated photographs show both sides agreed what the property looked like that day. This tool adds signature and date lines for both parties on every photo page.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. They are resized and cleaned of location data in your browser and used only to build the printout on your device. They are not saved in draft files and not sent to our server.
