Apartment handover protocol (Übergabeprotokoll)

The single most important proof of the apartment's condition at key handover: defects, meter readings, keys. Without it, a deposit dispute is nearly lost. Fill in and sign together at the handover.

Legal basis: Übliche Praxis; Beweissicherung für Kautionsansprüche (§ 551 BGB)
