How an Inventory + Check-In Works
Schedule Appointment
After requesting your desired date, you will receive two time slots: one for the inventory, and another for the check-in (typically with 1 hour between).
Inventory
The first time slot is for the landlord (or a representative) to grant access to the property for the clerk to carry out a full inventory.
Check-In
The second time slot is for the tenants to be checked in. During this time they'll digitally receive and sign the inventory, and be given the keys to the property.
★★★★★
I paid to have the Inventory + Check-In and this was really smooth and took all of the pressure off me. All in all this was a really straightforward process and I wouldn't hesitate to use and recommend Rent Setu in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an inventory?
An inventory is a detailed record of the condition and contents of a property at a point in time, usually with photographs. It forms the baseline for fair deposit deductions at the end of a tenancy.
What is a check-in?
A check-in is an appointment where tenants review and agree the inventory, often sign digitally, and receive keys. It is typically scheduled after or alongside the inventory visit.
What is a check-out?
A check-out compares the property at the end of the tenancy to the inventory and check-in record, documenting changes, cleaning and missing items to support deposit discussions.
Why have an inventory?
It reduces disputes by providing clear evidence of condition at move-in and move-out, which deposit schemes and adjudicators expect when considering claims.
Why have a professional inventory?
Independent, accredited clerks follow consistent standards, produce structured digital reports, and save you time—you do not need to attend the visit.
Can an inventory be done after a tenant has moved in?
It is best completed before or at move-in. If tenants are already in occupation, speak to us about the options; late inventories can be harder to rely on in disputes.
Do I need to be there for the inventory?
No. You can grant access via a representative or agreed access instructions. Many landlords choose not to attend.
