What is a placeholder?
A place description is a detailed description of all aspects of a property including its size, layout, state of repair, location, neighbourhood, amenities and any limitations of the property.
It is an important document for both the tenant and landlord as it gives an accurate picture of the condition of the property before and after rental. Thus, any damages or problems that may have formed before or during the rental period can be detected. The document also allows the landlord to make an accurate estimate of the rent.
It is crucial to choose an expert when a place report needs to be prepared. That way, you know that the objectivity and integrity of the report is ensured and that all aspects are included in the report.
