Notes & Guidance for Tenants General All items should be placed in rooms described on the inventory. It is the tenant s responsibility to return all items to their original position at the end of the tenancy. Should the Inventory Clerk have to search for items it may result in charges being made to the tenant. Heavy items of furniture that have been moved should also be returned to their correct positions. 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 replacement of items removed. Permission must be received in writing from the Managing Agent or Landlord for any items to be left at the property. It is expected that the property will be in a similar condition of cleanliness as at check in. Cleaning This must be thorough. The main areas of concern are: Sanitary ware, windows, hard floors, woodwork, kitchen appliances, including kitchen units, shelves, ovens, cooker hoods and refrigerators, wardrobes and drawer units, linens and bedding. If the standard of cleaning is not satisfactory, most Managing Agents or Landlord will employ a contract cleaner and their account will be added to any charges shown on the Check Out Report. Carpets All carpets should be thoroughly vacuumed. Depending on the agreement and/or length of tenancy they should be professionally cleaned. You will be charged to clean any staining or soiling. Compensatory costs will be made towards any further damage such as stains or cigarette burns. If a carpet is badly marked or damaged you may be charged for part or all of the cost of replacement. Crockery, China & Utensils These items will be checked for soiling, chips, burn marks, loose handles to pans and such like. If damage has occurred beyond fair wear and tear, compensatory or replacement costs will be added to the Check Out Report. All china, glassware, kitchen utensils etc, should be clean and accessible. Any packed away during the tenancy must be unpacked, cleaned and returned to the correct position. 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. However, should the marking be found to be excessive, charges may be added to the Check Out Report. Beds Beds, (bases and mattresses), and pillows will be examined for staining and damage not previously recorded on the inventory. Charges will be made in the form of cleaning charges, compensation or a percentage of the replacement cost as appropriate. Beds should not be made up as they need to be examined. Bedding and linen should be clean and placed neatly in the airing cupboard or appropriate room. Polished Furniture Polished furniture will be checked for scratches, ring marks, burns, soiling and damage to joints and charges made as appropriate. Repair costs and re-polishing costs are high. It is in your interest to take steps to protect furniture with mats etc. Soft Furnishings It is expected that these will be in a similar condition to the start of the tenancy. Any staining, soiling and excessive discolouration will attract cleaning charges. Page 10 of 38
Gardens If the owner has not employed a gardener at the property, you 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 that this is confirmed with the Managing Agent prior to taking action as they made need specialist treatment. If the standard of the garden is found to be untidy, compared with the commencement of tenancy, most Managing Agents or Landlords will employ a contract gardener and their account will be added to the Check Out Report. Check Out Appointment It is most important:- ALL cleaning has been completed prior to this time. ALL personal items have been removed. ALL keys are made available. The Property is ready to be handed over and the Tenant ready to vacate. If you are not ready to leave, it may not be possible to carry out the Check Out. In this case a return visit will be necessary and a charge will be added to the Check Out Report. The Inventory Clerk acts as an independent and reasonable body and will avoid any unnecessary criticism or derogatory comments when compiling or checking the inventory. At the termination of the tenancy the inventory will be checked and any obvious or significant discrepancies will be reported to the Managing Agent/Landlord. The report will indicate whether in our opinion the tenant is liable for the deterioration or whether it is considered fair wear and tear. Normal fair wear and tear will be assessed on the length of tenancy and type of occupancy. Page 11 of 38
