Exit Condition Report

Hi all,

We will be having tenants vacating and just wondering what is common procedure.

1. Are tenants required to fill out a separate exit condition report in addition to that of the Property Manager?

2. Should the exit condition report be done in conjunction with the tenants or best done separately

3. Should the exit condition report on day of vacating ? Any benefits or disadvantages ?

What state is the property in?

1. No (but they might take their own photos when they leave to be evidence if they think they need it)

2. Either. I prefer without so that it can be completed without any distractions

3. Obviously want to do it quickly so you can minimise your vacancy turnaround time. Same day isnt usually feasible, within a day or so is fine.

 

I know this varies a littel state by state, but seeing as we haven't had a response for OP, I'll add my 2c based on QLD.

1. Are tenants required to fill out a separate exit condition report in addition to that of the Property Manager?
The idea is that the tenant fill in the exit condition report and supply to the agent at exit, who fills in the other side at their inspection. Realistically, I can't remember the last time a tenant gave me an exit condition report, it's somewhat pointless in 99% of cases.

2. Should the exit condition report be done in conjunction with the tenants or best done separately
Your choice at the moment, though I believe in Victoria the tenant will soon have the right to attend the exit inspection. I find it best to do it on your own and then have the tenant attend to minor items directly afterwards, extra people are very distracting while you're inspecting yourself.

3. Should the exit condition report on day of vacating ? Any benefits or disadvantages ?
Supposed to be done within three business days of exit in QLD. Obviously doing it sooner gets the ball rolling, especially if you have tenants lined up.
