Why is it advisable to draft a move-in inspection report?

When moving into the apartment, it is recommended to conduct a move-in inspection, a document that will be attached to the rental contract. This move-in inspection must be signed by both the tenant and the landlord.

If no inspection is carried out at move-in, but damages or stains are found by the owner at move-out, the tenant may be held responsible for those damages.

In the absence of a move-in inspection signed by both parties, the presumption of good condition (Article 1731 of the Civil Code) applies: the tenant is presumed to have received the dwelling in good condition and must return it in the same condition at the end of the tenancy.

You have 10 days after moving in to report any anomaly via the contact form on your tenant area. After this period, the apartment will be considered as having been handed over in good condition, whether the move-in inspection was conducted by Home Attitude or by the landlord.
