Inventories are important! Tenant Disputes & Arbitration... Whether you’re a private landlord or an established letting agency, if you are taking tenant deposits then you should be taking good inventories. The reason? Quite simply, the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. Introduced at the beginning of 1997 the scheme makes landlords legally bound to place deposits in a government approved scheme. If there is a dispute with your tenant then it’s critical that a good inventory is in place.  At Inventory Guardian our inventory clerks recognise the importance of your inventory, and as a company that’s our sole focus. We don’t do anything else. Your deposit is your primary safeguard against damage to your property. Having an independently produced inventory provides a future evidence base required for both landlords and tenants in the event of a dispute. Arbitration is handled through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and it is critical that you understand, as a landlord, that ADR is (1) an evidence-based system (2) has no right of appeal. In the event of dispute over damage your inventory becomes the main reference document.
