Check Out reports are vital when tenants move out as 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.
Anything which needs to be repaired or replaced should be on a ‘like for like’ basis, so a second-hand desk should not 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 “. The landlord is usually responsible for paying for any check-out appointment and report unless there is a different arrangement int place.
