In plain English
This means the housing case record has reached its endpoint. It is no longer being actively worked on, because the case work has been finished or otherwise brought to an end.
In context
Here, “File closed” reports that the housing case is no longer active because the work has finished or ended, and that it is being marked as archived.
- Situation
- Following home-purchase, mortgage, valuation, survey, and closing administration
- What it communicates
- marks the case as finished and archived.
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not show whether the case work reached completion or simply came to an end.
Examples
“When the tenant withdrew the complaint before repairs were done, the housing officer moved the case to File closed.”
“After the final home visit, her housing record was placed in File closed for archiving.”
