For example, at the time of inspection, the floor was raw, without damage, and after some time he was strongly deformed. Either the walls were found to the Commission with raw, but in normal condition, and after the removed wallpaper fell off, and fungus and mold appeared under them. In this case, it is not necessary to sign an act about the apartment of the apartment until the Commission does not seek your apartment and does not documen the present situation.
