Should I document the condition of the property at check-in?

It is highly recommended to document the condition of the property at check-in.

This practice can help you avoid disputes with the landlord over damages when your tenancy ends. Take photos or videos of any existing damages or issues and note them on the inventory report included in the lease agreement.

For Spotahome to apply our Move-in Policy, visual evidence must be provided, and any related claims should be submitted within 24 hours of the scheduled check-in date.
