When a tenancy begins, expectations need to be clear. A check-in report does exactly that. It records the condition and contents of a property at the start of a tenancy, providing a fair reference point for both landlords and tenants.
Why Check-In Reports Matter
Clarity from Day One: Both landlord and tenant know exactly what was provided, and in what condition.
Protects Deposits: If damage occurs, landlords have evidence. If disputes arise, tenants have reassurance that they won’t be charged unfairly.
Legal Strength: A professional check-in report forms part of the evidence that can be used in deposit scheme adjudications.
