Key Handover Certificate

A key handover certificate is a formal declaration, typically signed at lease commencement or property transfer, confirming that all original keys to the premises have been delivered to the incoming tenant or owner. It serves as proof of physical access provision and eliminates disputes about missing or withheld keys.

The document specifies the quantity of keys handed over per entrance, door, or shared facility, and may reference additional access methods such as key cards or digital locks. Both parties sign to acknowledge receipt and condition of the keys, creating a clear record for security and operational purposes.
