What is a Check-In?
Once we have produced your inventory report, it makes sense to make best use of it by having tenants checked in to the property by one of our clerks. On a check in visit, we will take the tenant through the inventory report line by line to ensure that any differences are noted before they sign. We also agree with the tenant (or their agent), meter readings and the number of keys handed over. Once the check in is completed, we ensure that the inventory report is signed by the tenant and landlord (if present) and is witnessed by us. This ensures that there is a strong legal agreement as to the state and condition of the property, which is a safe and secure piece of mind for both tenant and landlord. The check-in provides a schedule of condition of the property and sets the standard at which the property should be maintained and returned at the end of the tenancy.
