Need a Check-Out Inventory? We’ve Got You Covered!
Whether you need a same-day booking or something scheduled for next month, we’ve got you covered. No need to stress—just give us a call, and we’ll sort it out. Even if we didn’t handle the check-in, we can seamlessly work from another company’s report to assist you.
Can you do a check-out inventory based on another company’s report?
Yes, we can easily work from another company’s report, and we do this frequently. Before the job, we’ll request the previous inventory and use it as a reference for the check-out.
Does the tenant need to be present for the check-out?
No, the check-out can be completed without the tenant being present. We are happy to collect the keys from the agent if needed.
Do you provide recommended costs for tenant issues?
No, this is not a service we offer. We remain completely impartial and do not provide costings for tenant issues. Costs can vary significantly depending on the nature of the issue, and as an unbiased third party, our role is to provide a fair and accurate assessment of the property’s condition, not to determine financial responsibility. This ensures our reports can be trusted by all parties involved.
Can I, as the landlord, do the check-out inventory myself?
Yes, you can do the check-out inventory yourself. However, it won’t be considered impartial, which could make resolving disputes over deductions more challenging. It’s always best to use an impartial third party for a fair and reliable assessment.
Can the check-out report be used as evidence in a dispute?
Yes, that’s exactly what the report is for. If there are any disputes, the check-out report provides clear and impartial evidence.
Who pays for the check-out inventory?
Under the Tenant Fees Act, which took effect on 1 June 2019, landlords are responsible for the costs associated with setting up, renewing, or ending a tenancy. This includes the check-out inventory cost, meaning tenants should not be charged for this service.
When should a check-out inventory be done?
The check-out inventory should be conducted on the last day of the tenancy.
How long does a check-out inventory take?
The duration depends on the size of the property and its contents. On average, a check-out inventory takes 1-2 hours at the property.
