Property Inventory - protect your interests

Why you need a property inventory

A robust inventory and check out report can be crucial to identify changes to your property throughout the tenancy. If you are unhappy with the state of the property at the end of the tenancy, you may have to provide evidence to support any deductions you make from the deposit. If a comprehensive inventory has not been completed prior to the tenancy, this could cause a dispute.

Tenants are also much more likely to preserve and look after your property better when they know that there is a record which can be used as evidence if there is any damage to the property, which they will then have to pay for. 

An inventory needs to form part of the contract between you and your tenant. It is an essential document when it comes to any possible deposit disputes.
