Why do I need an Inventory?

The Importance of an Inventory: Changes in the Law

Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) Scheme

The Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) scheme came into effect on the 6 April 2007. All landlords and letting agents taking deposits for assured shorthold tenancies (AST) in England and Wales are now required to join a government – accredited tenancy deposit protection scheme. This safeguards all deposits that are taken by landlords and letting agents.

The two main objectives of the scheme are

To ensure good practice in deposit handling, so that when a tenant pays a deposit, and is entitled to get it back, they can be assured that this will happen.

To assist with the resolution of disputes by having an alternative dispute resolution service (ADR). This will also encourage tenants and landlords to have in place, from the outset, clear agreement on the condition of the property through best practice, such as the use of inventories, and agreement on the condition of the property.

Landlords / letting agents will be required to join a statutory tenancy deposit scheme if they take deposits.

This will mean that deposits are safeguarded.

Tenants will get all or part of their deposit back, if they have kept the property in good condition and are entitled to do so.

The scheme offers alternative ways of resolving disputes which aims to be faster and cheaper than pursuing court action.

To summarise; now more than ever, it is imperative for landlords, agents and tenants to obtain an unbiased inventory report issued by a professional third-party, that may provide legal protection if necessary.
