The check in report is a special type of inventory report, usually conducted at the beginning of a tenancy agreement. It represents an assessment, done by a certified inventory clerk or property inventory services provider. It is an integral part from the initial inventory report of the property, and the only difference is that the check in report represents the current condition of the property and all the appliances at the signing of the new tenancy agreement. Once it is prepared, the check in report is put to the attention of the tenants, and a copy is attached to the contract.
Another property inventory report is the check out report, which is a key element for the end of tenancy, together with the end of tenancy cleaning. This report is a self-evident document, containing written and photographic elements, which describe in details the status of the property and all the appliances inside it before the tenant moves out. For every landlord it is essential to make sure that the check out report is conducted by a certified clerk.
Upon the tenant’s move out, both check in and check out reports are being compared, in order for any damages or property misuses to be discovered. The check out report is a must at the end of tenancy, and helps both landlords and tenants to avoid any deposit disputes.
