Introduction to Subject

Inventories have always been an important part of seeing in a new tenant. They have come of age with the arrival of Tenancy Deposit Schemes.

They enable landlords to create a situation where the tenant is fully aware that the state of the property at the time of the commencement of the tenancy is fully documented.

There are so many ways of creating an inventory, and we are all so different in the way we think and act, that there are no fixed instructions on how to create the ultimate inventory. However, there are suggestions as to some does and don’ts.
