Critical Risk: Without an entry condition report, you may be held responsible for ALL pre-existing damage.
The Consequences of Missing Your Report
Legal Presumption
The property is legally presumed to be in perfect condition at move-in
Full Liability
You become liable for all damage, even if it existed before you moved in
Limited Defense
Very difficult to dispute bond claims without initial documentation
