A key receipt documents that a recipient — for example a tenant or buyer — has received a specified set of keys, remotes and alarm tags from a landlord or seller. The receipt records the quantity of each item and the terms that apply to possession.
With a signed receipt it is straightforward to show afterwards exactly what was handed over, who is responsible if a key is lost, and what costs may follow. It protects both parties and reduces the risk of disputes.
The agreement covers the following areas.
A key receipt is an evidentiary document recording the handover and the terms that apply to possession. It is not a stand-alone agreement in itself, but supplements the underlying rental, sale or service agreement.

The primary tenant hands over keys to the subtenant and wants to document what was transferred to avoid later misunderstandings.
A contractor needs access to the property during a renovation and signs a receipt for the keys with terms for return.
It is not legally required, but it is recommended. A dedicated receipt makes it easier to show exactly what was handed over and on what terms, especially when several keys and access devices are involved.
The recipient is normally responsible for storing the keys with due care and may be liable for the actual costs of replacement, such as a cylinder change. This is set out clearly in the receipt's terms.
The recipient compensates the actual and reasonable costs incurred, such as cylinder replacement or re-coding. For master key systems in larger buildings the cost can be substantial — it is wise to inform the recipient of this in advance.
Under the receipt's terms, written consent from the issuing party is required before copies are made. The same applies to remotes and alarm tags linked to access systems.
Yes, the receipt is most valuable when both parties sign — this confirms both handover and acceptance of the terms. You can sign digitally or on paper.
Keep the receipt until the keys have been returned and any final settlement of deposit or compensation is complete. For property purchases it is wise to file the receipt together with the sale agreement.
