Inventory reports are just as fundamentally important to a Landlord as a Tenant.
Yes, inventories are not compulsory however, as a professional landlord they are essential. If you do not have one and a deposit is taken to arbitration you significantly reduce the chance of recovering losses for damages as the inventory report is the most significant piece of evidence in a dispute.
At the point of dispute the adjudicator will exclusively use the inventory report to form their judgement.
In most cases disputes are settled away from the deposit protection services as it can be hard to argue the evidence stated in the Inventory, Check In and Check Out reports.
Not only is an inventory vital at the end of a tenancy for deposit purposes, it also confirms to you and the tenant the standard of the property at the start of your professional relationship. It helps to set clear expectations of the maintenance required from you and the tenant.
By having an Inventory you are protecting your investment!
