Tenants

More and more tenants are instructing third parties to carry out inventories, check ins and check outs.

When the tenancy deposit scheme was introduced in 2007, it determined that documentary evidence should be provided in case of a dispute. This centred mainly on the landlord protecting their property, but this also applies to the tenant. If the landlord hasn’t provided a detailed inventory, then the deposit can be held in dispute and it becomes ‘your word against theirs’.

In many cases now, tenants want protection of their rights and therefore have instructed third parties to protect them.

We can protect you by offering:

• An inventory and schedule of condition
• Check in and Check out appointments will document condition and detail of the property at the beginning and end of the tenancy
• Pre-check outs – we can visit the property before you check out and go through it to ensure that it is ready for handover. Please remember, you will not be able to make any changes at check out and may be charged for work you should have carried out beforehand.

INVENTORIES CHECK IN AND CHECK OUTS CAN BE INSTRUCTED BY A TENANT AS WELL AS A LANDLORD. A SMALL PRICE TO PAY IN THE LONG RUN TO PROTECT YOUR DEPOSIT!
