What is a Condition Report?
Upon arrival, they must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 paper copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys.
Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to the property management within three business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy.

You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition.
The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy.
