Why landlords need a check-out inspection

Is it a legal requirement?

No, a check-out inspection is not required by law. But if you want to deduct from the deposit for damage or cleaning, you have to prove the property's condition has changed since the start. A check-out report, compared against the check-in inventory, is the evidence deposit schemes rely on, so it is essential for any deposit claim.

What the inspection covers

A clerk visits the property after your tenant moves out and records its condition room by room, comparing it against the check-in inventory. They note any damage beyond fair wear and tear, missing items and cleanliness, take photographs, and record the final meter readings.

Why it protects you

Deposit disputes are decided on evidence. A clear check-out report, paired with your inventory, shows exactly what has changed during the tenancy and supports any fair deductions. Without one, a deposit scheme is likely to release the full deposit to the tenant.
