Ged Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am leaving my rental premise, my landlady tells me I have to pay for the outgoing inventory. WTF! This is news to me.Anyone can illuminate me? It would be unusual for a vacating tenant to pay for an outgoing inventory - whatever that is. Usually at the end of a tenancy, there is a check-out procedure whereby the property condition gets checked against the inventory that was given to you at the beginning of the tenancy. Perhaps this is what your landlady means? Personally, I wouldn't pay, but do check your tenancy agreement. Regards, Ged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Financial Hack Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 If you have to pay the checkout, it should be mentioned in your contract. Obviusly the tenant ends up paying for it somehow, in my case I don't pay a fee, but the LL no-doubt pays for it out of the rent, otherwise they wouldn't make a profit. If it isn't written into your contract, then they simply cannot charge you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2thdr Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sorry for the delay in replying. I checked the contract and it says the following; Moving out: The Check Out As part of the tenancy Deposit Scheme, the landlord will pay for the comprehensive independant inventory/schedule of condition prepared for the property. The tenant is required to pay upto £50 ( per property) for professional checkout by inventory clerk and subsequent report being prepared. This charge is not payable until the end of the tenancy, can be paid from the deposit and is non- negotiable. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_FaFa!_* Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Your LA/LL is a turd. The lesson you learn here is always read your contract before signing. It is probably too late to negotiate now. My attitude would be to complain about the fee and also go to the TDS with any other deductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2thdr Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thank you. I agree, I should have read a bit more carefully. The time I moved into the prop, I had very little time etc. Anyway I learnt something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_FaFa!_* Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Best of luck! Hopefully with the glut of rental on the market now spivvy tactics like that won't work for much longer. Bunch of money grabbing turds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
