An inventory of fixtures is compulsory and also helps to protect you:
As a landlord, an inventory of fixtures is a way of protecting your property. It provides a written record of the condition of the property before you move in, so that you can compare it at the end of the lease.
If any damage is found during the rental period, the landlord will be able to ask you to repair it, or withhold part of your deposit to cover the cost of repairs.
That's why it's so important for you and your landlord to carry out the inventory of fixtures together, in a friendly atmosphere and with good lighting.
This is a key moment to make sure that everything is in order and to create a relationship of trust right from the start!
During this stage:
Take the time to walk through the home and meticulously note the condition of every item.
Carefully inspect the property and note the condition of every room, including walls, floors, doors, windows and fixtures.
Make sure you're both present to record all these important details.
And don't forget that the equipment must be as agreed in the rental contract.
