Check Out
Check-Out
The second most important report to finalise any deductions!

The report will include time and date-stamped photographic evidence, providing a clear view of each inspected room or area. Meter readings will be recorded to help settle any outstanding utility bills not cleared by the end of the tenancy.
Any damages or repairs needed before a new tenancy begins will be noted in a separate column. The report will also indicate whether the issues are due to wear and tear from the original condition or tenant negligence. Claims for deductions cannot be made for wear and tear or pre-existing conditions, as deterioration over time is expected.
Please note: The report will not cover the functionality of the bath, shower, taps, sinks, or general plumbing.
In case of a dispute between the landlord and tenant regarding damages or deductions, the Check-Out report is a crucial document. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may need to be submitted as a claim through the Deposit Protection Scheme. An independent adjudicator will review the Inventory and Check-Out reports to make a final decision.
