The inventory and the check-ins are two completely separate documents and events. You need to book an inventory if you only need the Schedule of Conditions of the property, the detailed notes of the condition and contents of a property before it is rented out.

The Check-in, also known as “Start of Tenancy Inspection” is when we take the Schedule of Condition and together with your ingoing tenant(s) we go through the whole report, room by room, checking all doors, ceiling, flooring, walls, windows, fixtures and appliances.

At this stage, the tenants will type in the report their comments and new photographs will be uploaded to support their observations. Once we go through the inventory list, we hand them over the keys, and most importantly, at the end of the process, they will sign the inspection acknowledging the conditions, all parties receive automatically a copy of the signed document. Case closed!

The check-in is not compulsory, but it gives added security should it go to any dispute over the tenancy deposit when the tenants move out.
