Pine cladding, original light fittings, a shelf of ceramics that have been in exactly the same order since some point in the late seventies. Whoever takes this tenancy on is moving into a small time capsule.

Sealed unit failed.
Moisture between the panes.

Looks like a small aquarium minus the fish.

The window will need replacing. Not today, not next week, but eventually. The kind of thing that ends up in a check-out conversation if nobody had logged it before.

With so much focus on the Renters’ Rights Act, it’s worth flagging what hasn’t changed on deposits.

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, the maximum deposit on a new tenancy is:
- Five weeks’ rent, where the annual rent is under £50,000
- Six weeks’ rent, where the annual rent is £50,000 or above

That cap has not changed under the Renters’ Rights Act.

Deposits taken in excess of these limits have to be returned in full to the tenant within set timeframes, and the landlord loses the protection of being able to serve some kinds of notice until they are.

Worth a quick portfolio check if any tenancies were set up before 2019 and haven’t been adjusted since.

Block-book your July check-outs with me now. Happy to coordinate the dates. , check-out scheduling, re-let marketing, remedial work decisions, the conversation about whether the tenancy is ending at all.

A current property visit inside that window doesn't settle disputes. What it does is make every conversation start from a shared picture instead of two competing memories.
The check-outs that go cleanly almost always had a recent visit on file. The check-outs that turn into disputes almost always didn't.

Block-book your July check-outs with me now. Happy to co-ordinate the dates.

A guide to knowing if what you’re paying for is worth it.

- Are they ARLA Propertymark or AIIC accredited?
- How long after the visit does the report land?
- What does their report look like when something is wrong, not just when everything's fine?
- How are photographs stored, and how are they linked to specific items in the report?
- How does the tenant review and sign the report? Is it a proper, legally recognised sign-off?
- What happens when a tenant disputes something on the report?

Weaker providers tend to fall apart on questions 3, 5, and 6. Worth knowing before a deposit dispute, rather than during one.

Letting agents reviewing their inventory supplier, message us. We'll answer all six honestly.

Not every check-out is clear-cut.

The deposit schemes have published guidance, but there's always grey areas, and the answer changes depending on tenancy length, what was in the inventory at check-in, and what the contract said about decoration.

This is exactly why a thorough check-in matters. Without one, every one of these becomes an argument.

mydeposits, the TDS, and the DPS all say the same thing in dispute decisions.

An inventory produced by the landlord, without independent verification, carries less weight than one produced by an independent clerk.

Doesn't mean a landlord-produced one is useless. It just means that when you're in a dispute, the adjudicator is going to read your document and the tenant's counter-claim and weight them roughly the same. Which is rarely what landlords expect.

An independent, ARLA Propertymark or AIIC-accredited inventory carries the weight you want it to. That's why they exist.

If you're managing your own lets and producing your own inventories, worth a 10-minute chat about what you'd want a professional one to cover.
