Landlord and tenant disputes can easily be avoided and resolved with landlord inventories. These pictorial documents give both the landlord and the tenant the opportunity to indicate the condition of the property before it is occupied by a tenant. Inventory clerks prepare the document to ensure that there is no dispute about the condition of the property at move in time and upon move out. This minimizes conflict between the two parties.
An example of a landlord tenant dispute may begin at the time of checkout. The property may have been rendered to the tenant in perfect condition, but during the course of the stay a hole may have been put in the wall inadvertently by the tenant. Alternatively, the tenant may have removed an item from the home inadvertently upon move out, such as a television or a toaster. The landlord can then verify the condition of the home upon check-in by referring to the document. Any discrepancies may be deducted from the deposit.
Without this document, any information entered into evidence in court is just one person's word against another. This document proves the condition of the property before the check-in and after the check-out. Any charges or deductions from the deposit will be anticipated by the tenant because of the landlord inventories document.
Inventory services are affordable and worth the expense to avoid accruing legal fees associated with debating a dispute. Tenants can also ensure they receive their entire deposit back if there are no damages beyond normal wear and tear. Inventory items may include curtains, fixtures, carpets and other items that may exist in a home. The document will detail every inventory item and its condition to ensure that the deposit can be returned in full.
Inventory services hire experienced inventory clerks to ensure that the reports are accurate and informative.
Accurate reporting with copious pictures reduces the room for error in a dispute. Pictures are often more descriptive than written verbiage. Pictures often provide more information during a dispute. Judges or mediators will take all of the evidence into account if there is a dispute that needs legal attention. Most times these documents may keep both parties from involving the legal court system to resolve the issue.
Landlords often require a large deposit to ensure the damages will be covered in the event that the tenant is negligent in his or her care of the domicile. Landlord and tenant disputes are easily resolved and deposits may be returned as promised if everyone understands the terms of the agreement. Read the document carefully and document as thoroughly as possible to avoid undesirable problems.
