What is an inventory?
Before you take occupancy Key-Lets will prepare a
comprehensive inventory, this is a schedule of contents within the
property and its current condition. This record is signed by the tenants
and becomes part of the contract of lease.
Why
is an inventory taken?
An inventory is taken to avoid any differences in opinion
during or at the end of the Tenancy Agreement. The property will be
fully cleaned and all the relevant safety checks performed before
occupation; therefore it is very important for the tenants to give the
property back to the Landlord in the same way as they received it,
taking into consideration 'wear and tear'. An exit letter will be
posted prior to any tenancy conclusion reminding tenants of their
obligations under the lease. On exit items must be returned to the
places and rooms detailed in the inventory. Failure to do so will
result in administrative charges for the additional time required to
locate and check items.
What
is Fair Wear and Tear?
Fair wear and tear is taken into consideration when
inspecting a property , however this is unlikely to be an issue unless
the tenant lives within a property over a number of years. There is
also an obligation on the tenant to notify Key-Lets of items broken or
damaged during the term of the tenancy.
