All about Check-Out?

What

A check-out survey records the condition of a property at the end of a tenancy and compares it to its condition at the time of the move-in.

It highlights any changes in the property and provides evidence on when a change in the condition happened to establish clear liabilities.

How

The inventory clerk reviews the property in detail and reports changes in the decorative, working and cleaning orders of the items listed in the original inventory or the previous check-in report.

With photos, descriptions and the original inventory report, the clerk brings his expertise to rightfully assess any wear and tear and damages.

Why

This report is a critical asset to get your deposit back. It provides fairness and unbiased evidence of changes in the condition of the property.

It protects the tenant's deposit against excessive claims and helps landlords hold tenants accountable for any reported damages or major

When

This inspection must be carried out as tenants are moving-out or after they have moved out.

It is advised for tenants to be present should any question arise or in the event the clerk points to some discrepancies that can be resolved with the tenants.
