Bus/Financial - Construction / Civil Engineering / apartment sale
German term or phrase: Abnahmeprotokoll
In this case, it involves an apartment that is to be sold. The glossary lists "certificsance of acceptance", but I don't think this is the right term for handing over an aprtment to a new owner/tenant.

agree  David Williams: Or simply "acceptance certificate". Shorter still would be "test certificate" or even "test record" (cf. http://www.dict.cc/?s=Abnahmeprotokoll, http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=wlqAU.&search=Abnahmeprot...

apartment inspection checklist


Explanation:
or apartment check-in list
in manufacturing, the term general means acceptance protocol or acceptance report; but in this context the protocol refers to the checklist you have to fill out stating if there are any repairs needed, etc., at the time you are accepting an apartment
