An inventory report is probably the easiest and surest way to be on the same page with your tenant or landlord. Not only is this document useful to the landlord as it protects him or her from financial loss in the future. It also makes life easier for tenants. If the inventory and description are correct, but you have broken appliances in the rental house, you can be sure that the property owner will certainly repair the appliances for you.
In practice, unfortunately, communication between the tenant and the owner sometimes does not go smoothly. They will sometimes need the intervention of judicial authority. However, even a lawsuit can put an end to a dispute when the inventory, condition chart and survey results are correct. Otherwise, the court has the right to refuse to hear the dispute.
Main inventory checks are done twice: the first time before new tenants move into your home and the second time before they move out. In addition, the fixing of these documents is accompanied by a deposit, which the tenant gives to the landlord. The tenant cannot worry about his deposit, as it is protected by the state deposit protection system in England.
Tenancy inventory includes every place in the house and every property, every interior item. Don’t forget to look at the condition of the walls, ceiling and floor. If they have cracks or damage to the finish, put a description of them in the inventory and decide who will fix the problem.
Carefully inspect light fixtures and check them for proper operation. Also, don’t forget to check the strength of the doors of storage systems: closets, dressers and nightstands. If it is a home, inventory for tenancy should include a complete inspection and description of additional structures. For example, the garage, outbuildings, condition of fences, and more.
Be attentive to the condition of the plumbing fixtures. Check them for water leaks. If one or another defect is impossible to specify with text and photos, then make a video, where you show how the faulty plumbing, and how the water leaks from it. If you carefully make an inventory and its additional documents, you can have peace of mind that your comfort will always be restored.
