Handover Report

A handover report is a formal record created when a landlord transfers occupancy of a property to a tenant. It documents the physical condition, all fixtures, installations, furnishings, and any existing damage or defects in detailed form.

This document serves as objective evidence of the premises' state at the start of the lease term. Both parties sign the report to confirm agreement with its contents. It establishes a contractual baseline that prevents disputes at lease termination and provides legal grounds for damage claims or maintenance obligations.
