F.A.Q
FREQUENTLY ASKED INVENTORY SERVICE QUESTIONS
INVENTORY ONLY OR WITH CHECK-IN?
The inventory and the check-ins are two completely separate documents and events. You need to book an inventory if you only need the Schedule of Conditions of the property, the detailed notes of the condition and contents of a property before it is rented out.
The Check-in is when we take the Schedule of Condition and together with your ingoing tenant(s) we go through the whole report, room by room, checking all doors, ceiling, flooring, walls, windows, fixtures and appliances.
At this stage, the tenants will type in the report their comments and new photographs will be uploaded to support their observations. Once we go through the inventory list, we hand them over the keys, and most importantly, at the end of the process, they will sign the inspection acknowledging the conditions, all parties receive automatically a copy of the signed document. Case closed!
The check-in is not compulsory, but it gives added security should it go to any dispute over the tenancy deposit when the tenants move out.
WHY DO I NEED A PROPERTY INVENTORY?
The inventory report states the items and their conditions at the beginning of the tenancy.
An inventory should be given to your tenant at the start of the tenancy period to reduce the risk of damage. It lists the items and visual condition of the property and is used to do a final inspection to check out a tenant. A clear and thorough inventory helps to prevent disputes regarding damage and cleaning and ensures a tenancy ends smoothly, allowing you to move a new tenant in without delay.
