1

Give your tenant a copy

Give your tenant a copy of the tenancy agreement within 21 days of entering into it.

2

Complete the move-in condition inspection

Walk through the rental with your tenant when they’re entitled to move in, or on another day you both agree to, and document its condition.

3

Give your tenant the inspection report

Give your tenant a signed copy of the move-in condition inspection report within seven days of the inspection.
