Handover Report
A written document that records the condition and completeness of a property at lease commencement, signed by landlord and tenant.
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.
