Inventory
- A written and or
- photographic record of
- the condition of a property
- prior to arrival of a tenancy and or
- during and upon departure at the end of a tenancy and
- scheduling any dilapidations
- It is important to take care to ensure that any mid term alterations are documented and if necessary signed by the parties to avoid a conflict at the end of a tenancy. If the condition is only recorded at the outset, then any alterations made mid-term will not be included in the schedule. E.g. a new lounge-suite provided towards the end of the tenancy could disappear with the departing tenants. The tenants cannot be charged as evidentially the suite is not listed on the inventory!
