Landlord Property Inventory
Before a tenant moves in, the landlord or agent must create a property inventory. This document should be agreed upon by both parties to avoid any disputes that may arise in the future. Having a property inventory ensures that both the landlord and the tenant are aware of the property’s condition and contents at the start of the tenancy.
What Should the Inventory Cover?
This document should include all items that are part of the lease and any existing damages. It should also mention standard furnishings and fittings. Our template makes this process easy and can be extended to include additional rooms and items. Here are the key categories to cover:
Appliances
Ovens, microwaves, fridge-freezers, washing machines, etc.
Furniture
Describe the condition of all available furniture.
Decoration
Note any damage to walls, flooring, carpets, or other decor.
Heating & Plumbing
Are all radiators and water systems in good working order?
Electrical Items
Note all electrical appliances and the condition of wiring.
Outdoor Areas
Includes outbuildings, sheds, gardens, and other areas.
Having an up-to-date, accurate, and agreed landlord property inventory is essential for both the landlord and the tenant.
