File completeness is only useful when another authorized operator can find the current agreement, amendments, notices, and contacts without relying on memory.

Test design

Sample files across active, renewing, and recently closed tenancies. Record search time, missing fields, duplicate versions, and access problems.

Limits

Retention and access requirements vary. This operational test should be reviewed with qualified legal and privacy advisors.
