Inventory & Check-In — your questions answered
- Is an inventory legally required?
- No, but without one you will almost certainly lose a deposit dispute. Adjudicators need dated evidence of condition at check-in.
- How long does a check-in take?
- Around one to two hours for a two-bed property, longer if it is furnished.
- Should the inventory be done by an independent company?
- Ideally yes. An independent report carries more weight with deposit scheme adjudicators than one written by the landlord.
- Do I need a check-out report too?
- Yes — the check-out compares against the check-in and is what any deduction is based on. Many companies price the pair together.
