After moving into your new apartment, it’s important to thoroughly inspect the condition of the space and all its equipment. This will help ensure you don’t get unfairly charged for any pre-existing issues when you move out.
Completing the Apartment Report 📋
Within 4 days of moving in, you need to fill out the electronic apartment report in OmaPSOAS . This report documents the initial condition of the apartment, which will be referenced later when you move out.
What to Include:
- Note any existing damage or wear and tear, such as scuffs on the walls, stains on the flooring, or issues with appliances.
What Not to Include:
- Avoid documenting minor, cosmetic issues like small marks on the walls or floors. These are considered normal wear and tear.
- Do not report any faults or problems that need to be fixed. For those, use fault report or contact the property supervisor directly.
- Do not report any problems that need immediate fixing, like a leaky faucet or broken electrical outlet. Instead, contact the property supervisor directly to request repairs.
- The apartment report is not the place to request maintenance – it’s purely a documentation of the starting condition.
Importance of the Apartment Report ❗
The information you provide in the apartment report will be used to assess the condition of the apartment when you move out. This helps ensure you are not unfairly charged for any pre-existing damage. Be thorough but focus on accurately documenting the initial state, not requesting repairs.
