SA Exit Inspection Sheet Requirements & Template

Quick Answer

A South Australia exit inspection sheet records property condition when a tenant vacates. It must be compared against the entry inspection sheet to identify damage beyond fair wear and tear. SA's 2026 standardised application form reforms increase the importance of thorough documentation.
