Residential and Commercial Adjudication Services
Are you are not familiar how important the concept of independent inventory service is?
Lets sum it up.
Your Property
An independent adjudication is conducted either at the start or end of a tenancy agreement. Right after it’s issued the inventory report becomes an official and legal proof of the overall condition of your house or building. Each dwelling is carefully inspected along with all other material possessions let by the landlord. It is of crucial importance that the overall inspection results do not harm both side’s rights and interests in any way.
Peace of mind
Once the service is done with the inventory inspection report can be used to serve as proof in case of court disputes over unforeseen expenses or inventory damage. By conducting an independent examination of the overall property inventory condition, it is far less possible for arguments and disputes when the renter leaves the housing. In order for the inventory report itself to be fully official, both the home owner and tenant should sign and agree upon it.
The report itself contains as detailed and extensive information about literally everything possible.
Windows, Doors, Locks, Handlebars, Mats, furniture, kitchen appliance, lamps, ceilings are just a few to mention along with the condition of all walls, floor and etc.
- If the table has a slight scratch – it should be carefully recorded.
- There’s a hole in the wall? All goes within the report.
- The curtains look old and used ? Sorry – it’s fair wear and tear.
- The property landlord has lend you a mint carpet but at the end of tenancy we have a small whole in the corner? Deposit alert.
- Your pet damaged the sofa – that is not fear wear and tear for sure.
