What About An Inventory/Schedule Of Condition?
This is an absolutely
essential document that provides a written benchmark, which should
be amended, updated and recreated before the beginning of each new
tenancy. A properly constructed Inventory/Schedule of Condition
details the fixtures and fittings and describes their condition and
that of the property generally.
Landlord and tenant often share the costs involved in preparing
and checking the inventory; such costs should be seen as a
necessary investment that helps protect the interests of both
landlord and tenant.
