2 Entry Condition Report INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE CONDITION REPORT 1. The landlord or the landlord s agent fill out and sign three copies of this condition report. 2. Before a tenant takes possession of premises to which a tenancy agreement relates and a bond is to be paid, the landlord must give the tenant a signed condition report. 3. The landlord should fill out the condition report in the presence of the tenant or a representative of the tenant (who is not the landlord or the landlord's agent) unless it is not practical to do so or the tenant or the tenant's representative does not appear at the agreed time. 4. The parties record the condition of the residential premises by indicating whether the particular room item is clean, undamaged and working by placing Y (YES) or N (NO) in the appropriate column (see example below). 5. The landlord or landlords agent give the tenant two completed and signed copies of the condition report at or before the time of entering the agreement. The landlord keeps the third copy. 6. The tenant indicates agreement or disagreement with the condition indicated by the landlord or landlord s agent by placing Y (YES) or N (NO) in the appropriate columns (see example below). 7.
