Check in
At check in all the keys will be checked and listed, the meters read. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms tested. We then walk the new tenants around the property pointing out the defects we have found during the inventory make and adding any additional notes the tenant may like to add and also ensuring the tenants understand the type of thing they may become liable for at the end of tenancy.
We also list the standard of cleaning for the property and the condition of any outside space on that day. The check in is then signed. Tenants then have 7 days to notify us of any additions they may find.
