An Inventory;
þ is taken prior to tenancy commencing with the property vacant, and
þ is not just a document detailing the contents of the property prior to letting. Correctly taken an inventory should also detail condition marks to décor and the furniture / fittings as well as the domestic cleanliness of the property at the time of the inventory
þ creates the benchmark for all parties (landlord / tenant and managing agent) during the term of the tenancy regarding the properties contents / condition and cleanliness
þ will greatly assist claims and / or defences for deposit deductions at the conclusion of tenancy (in conjunction with the Check In & Out documents) regarding damage, repairs, cleaning costs and missing items (four of the most common causes for deposit retention however the list is not exhaustive)
þ is an essential document in arbitration between parties ensuring a rapid conclusion to disputes with the fairest deductions / returns being made (if any).
This is a basic example, each report is bespoke to your individual property.
