Inventory and Condition Reports
Andrew Sanderson is a trained and qualified inventory clerk. Sanderson letting agents can provide detailed inventory and condition reports that will reduce the likelihood of disputes over deposits occurring in the first place. A detailed and carefully prepared inventory and condition report signed by the tenant is almost essential for any landlord to have if a dispute has to be resolved through a Tenancy deposit protection scheme.
Landlords
For landlords, not having an Inventory and Condition Report can now be nearly as bad as not taking a deposit all!
Taking a deposit can be a good way for landlords to protect themselves from the cost of damage (Not fair wear and tear!) that tenants can cause to their property. However, to prevent deposits from being unfairly retained by landlords, legislation is now in place which can make it more difficult if a landlord wishes to claim back the deposit at the end of a tenancy.
Since April 6th 2007 all deposits taken by landlords for assured shorthold tenancies on properties in England and Wales must be registered with a government approved tenancy deposit scheme. Find out more at this government website.
The tenancy deposit schemes have dispute resolution procedures that can only consider the facts. Without a detailed inventory and condition report it is likely to be difficult if not almost impossible for a landlord to win a dispute over the right to obtain deposit monies back to pay for damage, cleaning or theft.
Employing a professional inventory clerk can help to avoid unpleasant disputes and make it easier to settle them if they do occur. A detailed inventory and condition report carried out by a trained and qualified independent inventory clerk, a professional check in procedure and signed approval of the inventory by the tenants, followed by a formal check out procedure conducted by an independent inventory clerk at the end of a tenancy will provide clear documentation and independent evidence for a landlord to submit directly to a tenant or for use in a dispute resolution procedure being conducted by a tenancy deposit scheme.
Tenants
Tenants, make sure you check your landlord has placed your deposit with a government approved tenancy deposit scheme. Find out more at this government website.
