The CLIENT is expected to sign the inventory upon his/her departure, as well. The deposit will be returned to the CLIENT once the departure inventory has been done and the OWNER agrees that no damage has occurred and no items are missing. The deposit will not be returned unless the flat is evacuated by the CLIENT.
