Handover inventory guide

Turkish Code of Obligations Art. 342 governs delivery of the leased property; Art. 344 covers condition at return—damage not recorded at move-in often becomes a deposit dispute at move-out.

What should a move-in record include?

Summary: One general photo per room, a fixed-fixtures list, and tenant acknowledgment. Art. 342 sets delivery standards; Art. 344 frames comparison at return. Timestamps and party details matter for later proof. Source: https://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/mevzuat?MevzuatNo=6098

How to collect tenant approval

Summary: When wet signatures are impractical, use a time-limited share link; store approval time and access logs with the file. Law does not mandate one approval method—the goal is auditable proof that both parties accepted the same inventory list.

Move-out comparison

Summary: Add move-out photos against the same inventory list and flag new damage. Under Art. 344, the office can justify deposit deductions with documents. Keeping move-in and move-out records in one case speeds audits.
