Move-in condition reports in Kenya
Prepare move-in condition records documenting observable conditions at handover.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional move-in record: document one vacant two-bedroom flat immediately before a tenant's handover, covering five zones and 22 selected photographs. Record visible walls, ceilings, floors, doors/windows, kitchen/bath fittings and supplied key counts; reference any separate movable-item inventory. Deliver a dated condition schedule with tenant/landlord comment sections. This is documentary observation, not a building survey, habitability certificate, structural diagnosis, rent valuation or a legal decision about deposit deductions.
Who is the first customer?
Landlords, licensed managers and incoming tenants.
Test the offer
