Check-in and check-out reports serve different points in the tenancy, but together they create a reliable record of how a property has been looked after.
What is a check-in report?
A check-in report records the property’s condition before or as a tenant moves in. It normally covers cleanliness, fixtures, fittings, furniture, appliances, meter readings, keys, alarms and dated photographs. The tenant should have a fair opportunity to review the report and note any corrections.
What is a check-out report?
A check-out report records the condition when the tenancy ends. The clerk compares it with the check-in report, allowing the landlord or agent to identify changes, missing items and cleaning or maintenance issues.
Why are both reports important?
Using the same level of detail at both visits makes comparisons fairer. It helps separate reasonable wear and tear from damage, supports transparent deposit decisions and gives all parties a clear evidence trail.
How quickly can reports be delivered?
Delivery times depend on the service selected. Daily Inventory offers same-day, 24-hour and three-day reporting options on selected services across London. Ask for a quote based on the property and your required turnaround.
