🔍 Why is it important?
The check-out inventory is a mandatory legal document that:
Compares current condition with check-in condition
Determines any damage
Impacts the return of your security deposit
Formalizes the end of your lease - For example, it should justify the cancellation of your home insurance or guarantee.
Without your validation before departure, your security deposit cannot be processed and fees may be charged.
In the following days, we will compare your check-out inventory with your check-in inventory but also with the next tenant's check-in inventory.
