Picking up keys day after start date

[Hannahrachael]

so I’m new to renting so sorry if anything sounds a bit stupid!

Ill keep it brief - I signed the tenancy agreement and everything is paid and my start date is Friday the 16th and my inventory is Friday, but the agents said I pick the keys up Saturday 4pm? Do I have a right to the keys...

I live in a one-room studio flat with two closets (one main closet in the room.) Exactly half of the closet is taken up by a previous tenant's dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is the type that is meant for warehouses, not residential use (certainly not for such a tiny room). It's extremely heavy, loud...

hi all

My landlord / letting agent seem to be refusing to send me a copy of my inventory as they said I was given one when I moved in (I can’t find it and don’t think we were given one). Do they have to send me a copy? I don’t get why they would be withholding it unless they have...

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section.

I recently received an email from First Inventory (via Landlordzone) advertising their courses for inventory clerks. Although they seem a touch pricey there does seem to be a lot of info and back up on offer.

Hi all, hopefully this is a straightforward one.

We were renting out our property via a management company and a family moved in. We have since stopped dealing with the management company and just signed up the tenants to a new contract (not a renewal of the old contract, as that was...

Tenants moved in on Friday and signed inventory but said they would like some time to inspect the property and report back anything they feel needs adding to the inventory or changing from it, such as minor holes in the plaster and hairline cracks etc.

I have no problem with this as...

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind a tenant jumping in on the forum. I have a question about inventory and would love some advice.

I moved into a furnished flat about a month ago. When my landlord showed me round she pointed out the bed and the sofas and wardrobes that...

Hi all,
I'm about to rent my apartment out and I'm in the process of writing the inventory.

There are some non essential items that I'm happy to leave in the flat for the tenants to use (Espresso Machine, old PC printer, etc.) but I'm reluctant to put them in the inventory because...

Could someone confirm whether we have to use the same inventory company to check out tenants that was used for their check in. Letting agent says we do (the company they use). We had a few issues with the check in inventory not being corrected and lack of communication with them afterwards so would...

We moved out of our 4 bed flat recently, and the land lord was on holiday at the time. After about 3 weeks when we still hadn't been given our deposits back, I contacted the agent (she has proven her incompetence several times over the tenancy).

A few days after this, we received a phone...

Hello, we moved into a privately rented three bedroom house two years ago. The property was a bit grubby as the landlady was moving that day and we understood and accepted this. We were not asked to sign an inventory at all and paid our deposit into her back along with the first months rent. The landlord...
