When you move out of your KUMMUNI apartment, the move-out handover protocol is a crucial step to ensure that everything is documented properly and any potential costs are clearly identified. Here’s what you can expect during this process:

Detailed Examination of the Property #

During the move-out handover, your KUMMUNI agent will conduct a thorough inspection of the property. This includes:

• Energy Usage:
  The amount of energy (such as electricity, gas, and water) you have used during your lease will be carefully recorded.
• Condition of the Apartment:
  The overall condition of the apartment, including walls, floors, and any installed fixtures, will be assessed.
• Furniture and Equipment:
  Any furniture or equipment provided by KUMMUNI will be checked for wear and tear or damage, and this will be documented in the protocol.

Comparison with Move-In Protocol #

The move-in and move-out protocols will be compared by our software and accounting team to ensure consistency and accuracy. This comparison helps to identify any changes or damages that may have occurred during your tenancy, ensuring that any charges are fair and justified.

Cost Estimation #

Based on the inspection, our system will calculate an approximate cost for any damages, excessive wear, or other issues that may need to be addressed. This cost can either be deducted from your deposit or, in some cases, covered by your insurance.

However, it’s important to note that the total sum calculated might not be entirely accurate or precise. Our software estimates the cost per item but does not account for additional expenses such as recycling, rebuilding, logistics, and other associated costs. These additional costs may be charged separately, depending on the situation.

Hygiene and Cleanliness Check #

The hygiene status of the apartment will also be inspected. If the apartment is not cleaned to an acceptable standard, this will be documented in the handover protocol, and you will be charged for the cleaning service. To avoid this charge, ensure that the apartment is thoroughly cleaned before the handover.

Removal of Personal Belongings #

Before the handover, make sure to remove all personal belongings from the apartment. This includes any items provided by KUMMUNI, such as the care package. Although the bedding and towels were provided as gifts, they must be removed by you. If they are left behind, you will be charged for the associated logistics and recycling costs.

Finalizing the Handover Protocol #

Once the handover protocol is signed and submitted, no complaints will be accepted afterward. Therefore, it is crucial to review everything thoroughly before signing. If there is any agreement between you and our agents regarding specific issues, it must be mentioned in the highlight section of the protocol; otherwise, it will not be considered valid.

Final Considerations #

The move-out handover protocol is your final opportunity to ensure that everything is in order before you leave the property. The comparison between the move-in and move-out protocols by our software and accounting team guarantees that everything is properly evaluated. Carefully review the condition of the apartment and remove all personal items to avoid unnecessary charges. While the cost estimates provided during the handover are helpful, remember that they may not cover all potential expenses. Any additional costs related to logistics, recycling, or cleaning will be charged separately. Make sure that any agreements with our agents are documented in the highlight section, as only those will be recognized as valid.
