What is an inventory of fixtures? What is its role?

Qu’est-ce qu’un état des lieux ? Quel est son rôle ?
The inventory of fixtures is a written document, drawn up in two copies (one for the tenant, the other for the residence). It describes the rented apartment, as well as the furniture and equipment that make it up and their condition.

It is used to prove the condition in which the resident has received the premises. For example, if a stain is found on a piece of furniture, the tenant cannot be charged for this damage at the time of his departure, if it was found at his arrival.

Two inventories are established during the rental period: one on the arrival of the tenant, the other on his departure. If any damage is found, the residence will have the right to withhold the amount of the repairs to be made from the deposit (repair rates available at the reception).
