Hi, Do many landlords use an inventory clerk to produce the reports for check-in, check out, and inspections or do you do them yourselves?
Many thanks
Do it myself. It’s pretty easy. OpenRent have a template you can use and there are many others online.
Just make sure its detailed, right down to skirting boards and door architraves.
I do it by myself everything very details.
- drainage
Also I ask tenants check running water in kitchen sink,
Bathroom to make sure that they have checked and no problems with drainage. Also take photos and add on
Inventories and I do same for inventory check out.
As it’s tenants responsibility to keep drainage clean
- smoke alarms
Also ask them to check and remind them it’s their responsibility of checking and changing batteries when required.
The reason is that I had experience of tenant removed the battery from smoke alarm and then was blaming me as it was not there.
Also I take photos of them checking too just as evidence.
