Check-In & Check-Out 

A tenancy check-in and check-out service is a process that is typically conducted by a property management company or a letting agent to ensure a smooth transition of a tenant into and out of a rental property. It involves a thorough inspection of the property, documenting its condition and contents, and agreeing on any issues or discrepancies with the tenant and landlord.

Check-in Process:

  1. Preparing the inventory report: The inventory report is prepared before the tenant moves in, and it lists the condition and contents of the property. This includes a description of the fixtures, fittings, furnishings, and appliances, along with any existing damage, wear and tear, or cleanliness issues.

  2. Meeting with the tenant: A representative from the property management company or letting agent meets with the tenant to walk through the property and review the inventory report together. Any discrepancies or issues are noted, and both parties sign the report to acknowledge its accuracy.

  3. Handing over keys: The keys to the property are handed over to the tenant, along with any instructions or guidelines for living in the property.                                                                                                                

Check-out Process:

  1. Scheduling the check-out: The check-out inspection is scheduled for the end of the tenancy, typically on the last day or shortly thereafter.

  2. Conducting the inspection: The property management company or letting agent inspects the property to assess its condition and ensure that all contents are accounted for. Any damage or wear and tear is documented, and the inventory report from the check-in inspection is used as a reference to compare the condition of the property.

  3. Finalizing the report: A report is prepared that lists any damages, missing items, or cleaning issues that are the tenant's responsibility. The report is shared with the tenant, and any disagreements are noted and resolved if possible.

  4. Returning the deposit: The deposit is returned to the tenant once all issues have been resolved and any deductions have been agreed upon.                                                                                                                               

Overall, a tenancy check-in and check-out service is an important part of the rental process, as it helps to protect both the landlord and the tenant from disputes over damages or missing items. By working with a professional property management company or letting agent, tenants can feel confident that their move-in and move-out process will be smooth and hassle-free
