What is a Rental Inventory and Condition Report?

A Rental Inventory and Condition Report is a written record that confirms specific facts, prepared so it can be shown to another person or an office.

What this template does. Create a move-in baseline, interim repair record, move-out comparison, or final turnover report with indexed media, room condition, inventory, meters, keys, issue tracking, ordinary-wear analysis, and optional deposit accounting.

Also searched as

  • move in checklist
  • rental inspection
  • unit inventory
  • move out inspection
  • deposit deduction report

Commonly used by

  • Landlords
  • Tenants
  • Property managers

Legal considerations

Standard. Both parties should receive the exact dated report and media index. Preserve originals, distinguish observations from technical cause and liability, exclude ordinary wear from damage claims, and support every proposed deposit deduction with baseline comparison and evidence.

How it is signed

Signed by the people involved. The people involved sign it, with witnesses or a notary where your signing checklist says one is needed. Notarizing a private document is often chosen anyway because it makes the document easier to prove.

What it draws on

  • Civil Code
  • Rent Control Act
  • NHSB Resolution No. 2024-01
  • Rules on Electronic Evidence
  • Data Privacy Act

The exact provisions, with links to the official text, are listed under the Philippine law behind it.

How to complete your Rental Inventory and Condition Report

The guided interview takes you through 8 steps. The document updates as you answer, and some questions appear only when your earlier answers make them relevant.

  1. Step 1

    Set the inspection purpose

    Choose the event this record documents. It records observed facts; it does not certify hidden systems or decide legal liability.

    Up to 9 questions
  2. Step 2

    Identify parties and the exact premises

    Match the lease and included areas so the report cannot be confused with another unit or inspection.

    Up to 15 questions
  3. Step 3

    Anchor the report to the lease

    A reliable comparison names the exact baseline and does not invent one when the earlier record is missing.

    Up to 14 questions
  4. Step 4

    Create an authentic evidence package

    Number every image and preserve originals. A large photo folder without location, maker, date, or explanation is a weak record.

    Up to 9 questions
  5. Step 5

    Record the overall condition

    Describe what was actually seen and the limits of the visual inspection before assigning a condition label.

    Up to 11 questions
  6. Step 6

    Inspect every area consistently

    For each applicable item: location, material, observed condition, marks/defects, function tested, issue ID, and photograph reference.

    Up to 13 questions
  7. Step 7

    Reconcile inventory, meters, keys, and issues

    Count and identify each item. Then assign next steps without treating a tentative classification as final liability.

    Up to 14 questions
  8. Step 8

    Compare, account, and sign

    For move-out, separate ordinary wear from supported damage and return any undisputed deposit balance through a documented route.

    Up to 23 questions

RENTAL MOVE-IN INVENTORY AND CONDITION REPORT

Philippine rental evidence record · 0.2.0 · Independent Philippine lawyer review pending

1. Report identity and inspection event

Report type: move in. Inspection: August 30, 2026, 9:30 AM to 11:10 AM, Asia/Manila (UTC+8). Report completed: August 30, 2026. Participation: joint.

Lessor: Maria L. Santos, 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines. Lessee: Juan D. Reyes, Unit 2B, 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines. Inspector: no separate independent inspector. Attendees: Maria L. Santos, lessor; Juan D. Reyes, lessee; and Ana M. Cruz, adult witness and photograph maker.

The parties report a joint inspection; signature and attendance still require actual completion below.

2. Premises, lease, and baseline

Premises: Unit 2B, 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines. Second-floor residential apartment Unit 2B, approximately 45 square meters, including one bedroom, living/dining area, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, storage cabinet, and the fixtures and access listed in this report. Use/type: residential; apartment or condo.

Lease: Residential Lease Agreement, dated August 25, 2026, reference RLA-2B-2026; term recorded from August 30, 2026 through August 29, 2027. Current monthly rent: ₱9,000.00.

Rent-control treatment selected: likely covered 2025 2026. The unit is a residential apartment rented at PHP 9,000 monthly, is not a hotel or motel, and no supported new-unit exclusion is claimed; the lease and unit records were checked against NHSB Resolution No. 2024-01.

Prior baseline: No prior condition report applies because this joint inspection creates the initial baseline immediately before possession and key delivery. Security deposit recorded: ₱18,000.00. PHP 18,000 is to be placed in the lessor's named bank deposit account ending 4821; opening receipt, monthly statements, credited interest, authorized withdrawals, and final balance will be retained and shared for accounting.

3. Method, evidence integrity, and privacy

Inspection method: Joint clockwise room-by-room visual inspection under daylight and installed lighting, with wide and close photographs, one-meter reference where useful, safe operation of accessible fixtures, and no destructive or concealed-system testing.

Access and limitations: The locked building electrical service room and concealed wall, ceiling, plumbing, and structural cavities were inaccessible; no omitted area is represented as inspected, and all not-applicable items are marked N/A. Visual, non-invasive observations only; concealed systems, structural capacity, code compliance, contamination, infestation, and specialist equipment were not certified.

Media package: 18 photograph(s) and 1 video(s). Maker/competent identifier: Ana M. Cruz made all 18 photographs and one continuous walk-through video on the identified device and can explain when, where, and how each file was produced. Index: PH-001 exterior/front door; PH-002 entry floor; PH-003-005 living walls/ceiling/floor; PH-006-009 kitchen; PH-010-012 bathroom; PH-013-014 bedroom; PH-015 electric meter; PH-016 water meter; PH-017 keys; PH-018 balcony; VID-001 clockwise walkthrough. Each index entry includes original filename, timestamp, issue ID, and description.

Preservation: Preserve camera originals and metadata in read-only folders, compute and record SHA-256 hashes for the signed export package, retain exact PDF/DOCX versions and delivery messages, back up to two controlled locations, and disclose any derivative crop or redaction. Privacy: Frame only the premises and relevant fixtures; exclude faces, the minor child, IDs, mail, screens, medicines, banking records, and unrelated belongings; use a narrowly cropped derivative only when necessary and keep originals access-restricted for lease, repair, or dispute purposes.

This is a non-invasive factual record, not an engineering, electrical, plumbing, fire, environmental, pest, mold, valuation, or code-compliance certificate. A photograph is evidence of what it accurately depicts, not proof of a concealed cause, cost, fault, or legal conclusion.

4. Overall condition and urgent issues

Overall observed grade: good. Scale used: Excellent means new-like with no material defect; good means fully usable with minor disclosed marks; fair means usable with specific wear/repair items; poor means material defects; unsafe/unassessed requires access restriction or specialist review.

The apartment was vacant, freshly swept, and usable at inspection. Minor disclosed paint scuffs and one loose kitchen cabinet hinge are recorded; no active leak or exposed wiring was observed during the limited visual and safe functional checks.

Cleanliness and odors: Floors and fixtures were visibly clean with no smoke, pet, chemical, sewer, or persistent damp odor observed during the inspection. Moisture/pest indicators: No active dripping, visible mold-like growth, droppings, rodents, or insects were observed; an old dry water stain above the bathroom door is indexed as Issue I-02 for monitoring.

Observed safety devices and test limits: One smoke alarm was observed at the hallway and its test button sounded; one tagged extinguisher was observed near the kitchen; exits were visually unobstructed. Battery life, internal condition, code compliance, and system integration were not certified.

No urgent hazard is affirmatively reported in this visual inspection; this is not a safety certification.

No separate specialist inspection is recorded as recommended by this report; later evidence may change that assessment.
