A rental condition report records the property’s condition, including existing damage, marks, cleanliness and fixtures, when your tenancy starts. You should inspect it carefully, add anything missing, take dated photos and return it within the timeframe required in your state or territory. Keep a copy because it can be compared with the exit report when deciding whether damage occurred during your tenancy. If you disagree with the agent or landlord, keep your evidence and check your state’s residential tenancies authority for guidance.
