Frequently asked questions about the handover protocol
Is a handover protocol mandatory in Austria?
A handover protocol is generally not required by law. It is still highly recommended to record the condition of the apartment in writing at handover. This helps tenants and landlords later understand which defects or damage were already present when the keys were handed over.
What should a handover protocol include?
A handover protocol should document in particular the condition of the apartment, existing defects and damage, meter readings and the number of keys handed over. Photos can also help document the condition in a clear and traceable way.
Who should sign the handover protocol?
Ideally, the handover protocol is reviewed and signed by both parties – tenant and landlord or their representatives. Both sides should then receive a copy of the signed protocol.
Should defects and damage be photographed?
Yes. Photos are a useful addition to the written record. Especially for visible damage or defects, clear photos should be taken and kept together with the handover protocol.
Which meter readings should be documented at apartment handover?
Depending on the property, meter readings for electricity, gas, water and, where applicable, heating should be documented. This makes it possible later to determine consumption up to the time of handover.
Can I create a handover protocol for free?
Yes. With the free handover protocol tool from SAMAAN.LEGAL, users can create an individual protocol for their apartment step by step and then download it as a PDF.
