The basics

What is a property inventory report?

A property inventory report records the condition, cleanliness, contents, fixtures and fittings of a residential property at the start of a tenancy. It creates a clear starting record that can be referenced throughout the tenancy and compared against later reports such as check-ins, midterms and check-outs.

Room-by-Room Detail

Supporting Evidence

Future Comparison

Use the inventory as the baseline for check-outs and end-of-tenancy reporting.
