deemed a check-in inventory report
A check-out inventory or, if need be, a Schedule of Dilpadiations vs. of Condition would come at the end of the tenancy.
Add the word report, unless included in the translation of 'procès-verbal contradictoire' so a mutual report vs. joint affidavit.

The check-in report should provide both an inventory of contents and a schedule of the condition of the property and its contents at the start of the tenancy.
| Thanks, Adrian. That pretty much clears the matter up for me. I don't know what it would be in the USA either (this is supposed to be in US English) but I'll work around it. |

In fact, instead of "check-in" or "incoming", I would just get it down to basics!
"inventory of fixtures AT THE START OF THE LEASE" or "WHEN THE LESSEE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE BUILDING", to get all fancy and technical.
Now that couldn't be any clearer!!!
To Chris (AllegroTrans):
"The inventory of fixtures is an official visit you conduct in the apartment with your landlord before moving in, and also a document that helps compare the ***condition*** of the apartment when you get in and when you leave. It forms the basis for the return of the security deposit."
