What Is Important

At Trust Inventory we offer all type of inspections: the initial inventory, the check-in, the interim and the final check-out. The Check-in inspection is not compulsory, but this will give you a solid document approved. This will give you a solid document you can use should this go to a dispute, so you can get back your deposit.

How We Do It

When the property is ready to be inspected, clean and with all maintenance work completed, our clerks will need access to the rooms, garden and garage. The inspection for a 2-3 bedrooms property usually takes 3 hours to be completed, it will be done on site, leaving no room for mistakes, you will receive the report automatically in your email. You will be notified in due time of any potential maintenance issue before the move in date.

Protect Your Deposit

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme recommend using independent inventory clerks that will take several relevant photographs not only general room images, we take several photographs clearly showing where the issue is. At the Check-in we take your comments typed in a separate distinct column dedicated to the tenant. This way it cannot be misunderstood and it is witnessed by our clerks.

Check Out reports are vital when tenants move out, the Tenant wants to get back their deposit and at the same time, it is important for the Landlord to make sure they can apply a charge if it is needed.

What can be deducted from the Tenant’s deposit?

A landlord can make deductions for things that cost them money, it’s reasonable for a landlord to take money off the tenant’s deposit to cover damage to the property or furniture, missing items that were listed on the inventory, paying for cleaning because the property was left in a dirty condition, or outstanding rent owed by the tenant.

A landlord shouldn’t deduct money from the deposit to cover damage that could be regarded as fair wear and tear. Wear and tear happen when furniture and contents deteriorate as a result of normal use, for example, carpet becoming worn. Generally, wear and tear take place over a long period of time through normal use.

Anything which needs to be repaired or replaced should be on a ‘like for like’ basis, so a second-hand desk shouldn’t be replaced with a brand new one.

At the end of the tenancy, the tenant(s) have to return the property in the same condition that it was originally let, “allowing for fair wear and tear “.
