Condition and contents, recorded as the tenancy ends. Kaarr turns the check-out visit into a dated, photographed report in your agency's name, ready to set against the check-in.
The check-out report records the property's condition at the end of the tenancy so it can be compared with the inventory taken at the start. Any difference beyond fair wear and tear is what a landlord may seek to deduct from the deposit.
If the deposit is disputed, the scheme's adjudication looks for evidence: a dated check-in record and a dated check-out record that can be read against each other.
Ordinary use over time is not damage. A good check-out report separates deterioration that comes from normal living in the property from damage or neglect, because only the latter is a basis for deduction. The distinction should be made carefully and consistently, and with the age and quality of the item in mind.
The deterioration that comes from ordinary use of a property over time. It is not damage, and generally cannot be deducted from a deposit.
A dated inventory and check-in, a dated check-out report, and photographs of the same areas at both points.
No. A check-out is the end-of-tenancy report compared to the inventory; a mid-tenancy inspection is a routine visit during the tenancy.
A dated check-in and a dated check-out are what make a deposit decision defensible.
