Services available from LPS
What is an inventory?
A document listing all the spaces in a property, including the garden and outbuildings if appropriate, with a detailed description of the condition and contents like furniture, appliances, decorations, curtains etc..
This is agreed at the beginning of the tenancy and is used at the end to check for any changes, deterioration and other dilapidations.
An inventory should be made shortly before the tenancy commences and the property should have all modifications and refurbishments completed, appliance testing certified, be clean, tidy and ready to be occupied.
Check In
This is carried out when the tenant takes over the property. The inventory is checked and agreed; keys are handed over, any special instructions given and meter readings taken. It is carried out with the new tenants in attendance.
Interim Inspection
This is a brief inspection carried out at regular intervals during the tenancy to ensure all conditions of the tenancy are being adhered to and that the property is being well looked after, within the bounds of Fair Wear & Tear. This should be carried out with the tenants present at a time convenient to all parties with adequate notice given.
Check Out
This occurs at the end of the tenancy when the tenants leave. The property is checked against the original inventory, any dilapidations noted, meter readings taken and keys returned. The report is used to assess any retention of deposit to cover extra cleaning, repairs & replacements considered to be beyond Fair Wear & Tear. This can be carried out with the departing tenants on site or as soon after their departure as is practical.
