Flat Inventory and Condition Checklist Template

Your Deposit Depends on This

In the UK, tenancy deposit disputes cost renters thousands of pounds every year. The single best protection is a detailed inventory completed on move-in day. This template guides you through documenting the condition of every room, fixture, and appliance.

For each area, note the general condition, any existing damage, and take timestamped photos. Have your landlord or agent sign it. Keep a copy safe — ideally stored digitally in your HomeCo apartment profile alongside your tenancy agreement.

What to Document

Cover every room including hallways, balconies, and storage areas. Document walls (scratches, marks, paint condition), floors (carpet wear, tile cracks), windows (locks, seals, glass condition), kitchen appliances (working order, cleanliness), bathroom fixtures (grout condition, sealant, drainage), and all furniture if furnished.
