GUIDANCE NOTES This report presents a precise record of the contents and condition of the property. It is the responsibility of the tenant, landlord and respective agent to agree on the accuracy of this report and to advise Arnold Inventories Ltd of any agreed changes that may be required in electronic format. Please note; it is strongly advised that you examine the contents of this inventory prior to agreeing. Arnold Inventories Ltd cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. Any discrepancies regarding the accuracy of this report need to be agreed directly between the landlord and the tenant. The inventory has been prepared on the principle that if the condition column is left blank then the item is free from obvious defects, damage or soiling or is in the same condition as noted previously. Arnold Inventories do not undertake to remark on any structural defects. Arnold Inventories cannot attribute as to the value of any objects at the property. Any items left in locked rooms or cupboards are the sole responsibility of the Landlord and will not be included in our reports. All descriptions within this inventory are for identification purposes only. At the time of Check Out a comparison will be made between the original inventory and the state of the property and contents at the commencement of the tenancy. Any electrical appliances tested will be for power only and this will only be carried out where practical. Boilers, gas fires, water supply, fire alarms and radiators are not tested. Should meters not be located or accessible to read then no readings will be taken we cannot be held responsible for this. Arnold Inventories cannot be held liable for any damage that occurs whist inspecting the property for day to day use. e.g. there can be no liability if a venetian blind detaches from the ceiling whilst being checked that it works correctly GUIDANCE NOTES FOR CHECK OUT At the end of the tenancy all personal items must be removed and cleaning must be concluded prior to the Check Out date. The property must be restored to the condition it was found on the date the tenancy commenced. The managing agent or landlord must be informed of any items removed from, or added to the property. Failure to do so may result in charges being made for the replacement of items removed. It is the tenant s responsibility to return all items to their original position at the end of the tenancy. Should items not be in their original position at Check Out and as a result the clerk lists items as not seen, Arnold Inventories cannot be held responsible. Heavy items of furniture that have been moved should also be returned to their correct positions. Decorations It is accepted that during the course of normal day to day living a few marks and scuffs will appear on walls and woodwork. All fresh marks or damage will be recorded in the check out, some of which will be fair wear and tear and some of which may be excessive. If the landlord feels these marks are excessive he should discuss it with the tenant and try to agree a level of reasonable compensation. If an agreement can t be reached then they should proceed to arbitration via the relevant channels. Page 38
Beds Beds, bases, mattress and pillows will be examined for staining and damage not previously recorded in the inventory. Linen and bedding, if any, should be left clean and pressed. Beds should not be made up as they need to be examined. Bedding & linen should be clean and placed neatly in the airing cupboard or appropriate room. Unlaundered linen will not be checked. Polished Furniture Polished furniture will be checked for scratches, ring marks, burns, soiling and damage to joints and comments will be made as appropriate. Soft Furnishings It is expected that these will be in a similar condition as at the start of the tenancy. It is in your interest to protect the furnishings as compensation charges or replacement costs may be deducted from your deposit for any damage or excessive wear incurred. Any staining, soiling or excessive discolouration will attract cleaning charges. Keys All keys listed on the inventory should be kept safely and handed back at the end of the tenancy. Should you have extra keys cut these should also be returned. All keys must be available and labelled clearly. Gardens If the owner has not employed a gardener at the property, the tenant will be required to maintain the garden. This includes the cutting of lawns, weeding of beds, and maintaining the garden according to the season. This may include trimming bushes and shrubs, but it is suggested this is confirmed with the Managing Agent prior to taking action as they may need specialist treatment. Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms Where the inventory notes the presence of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, if tested by the inventory company, this will be for power supply and should not be interpreted to mean that these items are fully working and that the property complies with the 2015 regulations. Arnold Inventories Ltd has no liability for any damage caused by any type of fire due to non-working smoke alarms. The Inventory Company will take no responsibility for damage or mal-function during the testing of such alarms or during their future functioning. Page 39
CHECK-OUT APPOINTMENT It is most important that all cleaning has been completed prior to this time and that all personal items have been removed. The property must be ready to be handed over along with the keys at the appointed time of the check out. If you are not ready to leave, it will not be possible to carry out the Check out and a charge for an abortive visit will be incurred. At the termination of the tenancy the inventory will be checked and any obvious or significant discrepancies will be reported to the Managing Agent/Instructing Principal. In some cases dependant on the agent his report will indicate whether, in our opinion, the deterioration outlined is considered fair wear and tear. Normal fair wear and tear will be assessed on the length of the tenancy and type of occupancy. Electronic confirmation to the instructing agent/landlord that this report is agreed is acceptable. This is to certify that we the undersigned have carefully checked the report subject to the marginal notes and consider this to be a fair and correct schedule of condition and contents 'Any feedback or comments must be provided within 7 days of receipt of report.'
