The Importance of a Good Check-In and Check-Out Report - a Guide for Agents

When it comes to protecting tenancy deposits, a clear and detailed inventory alongside check-in and check-out reports can make all the difference. Without them, even the most straightforward tenancy can end in a dispute.

Join TDS as they guide letting agents through the importance of professional inventories and accurate check-in and check-out reporting. This session will help you understand how to record the true condition of a property at the start and end of a tenancy, giving you the evidence you need to avoid unnecessary deposit disputes.

Martin Wilks, adjudicator at TDS, and Mitch Handley from Inventory Hive will cover what should (and shouldn’t) be included in an inventory, how to complete effective check-in and check-out reports, and the common mistakes agents make that could leave landlords and tenants vulnerable. You’ll also get expert tips on how to handle disagreements fairly and in line with deposit protection legislation.

The session will finish with a Q&A, giving you the chance to ask the experts your own questions and get tailored advice.

Whether you’re new to property management or looking to sharpen your existing processes, this session will give you the confidence to get it right every time.
