Why landlords need a property inventory
Is it a legal requirement?
No, there is no law that requires a property inventory. But your tenant's deposit must be protected in a government-backed scheme, and if there is a dispute over deductions at the end of the tenancy it is decided on the evidence. A professional inventory at check-in is the strongest evidence you can have, which is why most experienced landlords never let without one.
What the inventory records
An independent clerk records the contents and condition of every room, including fixtures, fittings, furniture, walls, floors, appliances and any garden or outside space. They note cleanliness and any existing wear or damage, take photographs throughout, and record the meter readings. The report is then shared with your tenant to check and sign.
Why it protects you
When a tenancy ends you can only make fair deductions from the deposit if you can prove the property's condition at the start. Without an inventory, deposit schemes usually decide in the tenant's favour. A clear, dated and signed inventory gives you the evidence to recover the cost of damage beyond fair wear and tear.

Common Questions
A property inventory is a detailed written and photographic record of the contents and condition of a rental property at the start of a tenancy. It is sometimes called an inventory and schedule of condition. It captures the state of every room so there is a clear, agreed baseline to compare against when the tenant moves out.
