Inventory Services - Check-in and Check-out reports

In creating these reports, an inventory clerk uses the Inventory and compare it against the actual situation at the beginning and the end of a tenancy to ensure total clarity in terms of the state of the property and its contents.

The Check-in

The Check-in report takes the Inventory, checks it and notes any variation in either content or condition of the items. Our Inventory clerk also reports on the condition of the property - also known as the "schedule of condition" - and the cleanliness, take meter readings and ensure that the Check-in report is agreed and signed by the landlord and tenant or their representatives.

The Check-out

The Check-out report is carried out at the end of a tenancy when the condition and contents of the property are noted together with any differences to the Check-in report. Our inventory clerk then compiles a Check-out report listing the changes.

It is clearly very important to check the Inventory at this point, immediately before the tenant vacates the property, so that there can be no argument subsequently about any damage which may have occured.

According to the Association of Independent Inventory Clerks:

" The Check-out report is the basis for most claims made by landlords. A claim is most often viewed more favourably if compiled by an independent and unbiased party such as an Independent Inventory Clerk, particularly in a Court of Law."
