Non housing act and assured tenancies don’t need to have the deposit protected so do they still need to have professionally drawn up inventories?
Yes, a professional and detailed inventory will be needed in order to assess whether damage has occurred no matter what type of tenancy agreement is in place. Some of the Tenancy Deposit Schemes will cover those types of tenancies under their Alternate Dispute Resolution service. Disputes will still arise with these types of tenancies and the inventory will by required as evidence by either an arbiter or the courts to allow an adjudication to be made.
