Don't end your tenancy with a headache...
When it comes to protecting your property and it's value, a check-out inventory report is critical.
It ensures that you, the landlord, are fully aware of the state of your property at the end of your tenants stay.
The tenant is responsible for any differences in cleanliness or condition between check-in and check-out. Even if the tenant did not have a properly conducted check-in inventory performed, a final inspection of the property at the end of their tenancy ensures that you, the landlord, have independent proof of how well your property has been looked after and can charge any deductions necessary to the tenant's deposit before returning the balance.
All changes to the condition between the start and end of the rental period will be fully itemised on the check-out report as well as a breakdown of all current items and effects in the property. This report ensures that the landlord has peace of mind that their property is in order, which is invaluable for the property owner, especially in the case of any deposit disputes.

Common Questions
Do I need an inventory to make deductions from my tenant’s deposit?Do I need an inventory to make deductions from my tenant’s deposit?If your deductions are disputed by the tenant, you will need to provide justification for them with proof. A check-out report helps you to do just that. It is especially important for the report to include photographs so the damage can be viewed during the dispute resolution process. This will go a long way to ensuring you are not left having to fork out your own money to cover someone else’s destruction.If your deductions are disputed by the tenant, you will need to provide justification for them with proof.

Do I really need a check-out inventory?Do I really need a check-out inventory?Some might say no, but we would argue that it is better to have it and not need it, than not to have it and need it. The inventory check-out report is the last time you can reasonably inspect the state of the property whilst it’s been under the tenant’s care. This is your proof that any changes or damage to the property during the rental period must have been caused by the tenant. You can also take meter readings as well as ensure that the departing tenant has left nothing behind – you don’t want to be on the hook to pay for removals. An accurate check-out inventory will include photographs that can be compared to the ones taken at the check-in stage.
