Before unpacking
- Open the official condition report or inventory.
- Confirm the address and date.
- Walk through once without photographing.
- Note any urgent safety or repair issue separately.
Inside each room
Take wide views first, then walls, floor, ceiling, doors, windows and fixed fittings. In kitchens and bathrooms, include benches, cupboards, sinks, taps, appliances and visible seals. Photograph meter readings or keys only when relevant and avoid exposing personal information.
Existing marks and wear
Pair every close-up with a wider image that locates it. Use a short neutral note: what you see and where it is. If the official form does not mention the detail, follow the local process for adding or notifying it.
Finish the starting record
Check that every selected room is complete, create the PDF and keep it with the official report. If you send either document to another person, keep the dated message or email as well.
Official sources
Rules and processes can change. Check the authority that applies to your rental before acting.
