Landlord Information

  • Inspection of the property is carried out before the tenancy begins and four weeks after the tenant moves in. Thereafter an inspection of the property is carried out every three months for the duration of the tenancy. Written reports will be provided after the inspection, if there are any concerns or problems.

  • To protect yourself against damage caused during the tenancy, it’s vital to carry out a detailed inventory before new tenants move in.

    As all tenancy deposits must be registered with a government-approved scheme, tenants can dispute any deductions from their deposit. Without an inventory, landlords have little chance of claiming successfully.
