Inventory conducted with the landlord: The exit inventory is not mandatory, but we strongly advise you to carry out an exit inventory with the landlord.

The exit inventory will serve as a sort of assessment: it is mainly for the landlord to check that there have been no damages to the property or furniture. On your side, this document will help protect you from any claims from the landlord regarding damages that may have occurred after your departure.
