Move-in and Move-out Inspections
Most disagreements between owners and tenants come down to one question: what condition was the property in when the tenant arrived? Flourrish answers that with a detailed move-in inspection and a matching move-out inspection, both shared with you.
- Available across Chennai
- Can be arranged remotely
About this service
At move-in, we walk through each room with the tenant where possible, noting the condition of walls, flooring, doors, windows, fittings, sanitaryware, electrical points and any furniture or appliances supplied. Photos and short videos support the written notes, and meter readings for electricity and water are recorded. The tenant is invited to review and acknowledge the record, and you receive a copy for your files.
At move-out, we repeat the same inspection using the move-in record as the reference. Differences are listed clearly, separating normal wear and tear from damage or missing items. We then share a comparison with you, along with rough repair estimates where needed, so you can make a fair, informed decision about the deposit and discuss it with the tenant on the basis of shared facts.
This service is about protecting your position as the owner. The same records also help when you prepare the property for the next tenant, since you know exactly what needs attention, whether that is repainting, servicing an AC, replacing a damaged fitting or a deep clean. For owners abroad, the photo and video records mean you can follow both inspections closely without needing to travel to Chennai for a tenancy changeover.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from handover and inventory records under rental and leasing?
That service focuses on the handover paperwork during leasing. Here, inspections are part of your ongoing property management and are compared across the tenancy to protect the owner's interest.
Does the inspection decide how much deposit is deducted?
No. We provide the facts and estimates; the decision on any deduction is yours, ideally discussed openly with the tenant in line with the agreement.
Can you do a move-out inspection if there was no move-in record?
Yes, we can record the current condition, though without a baseline it is harder to show what changed. We recommend a move-in record for every new tenancy.
