On the day in which a tenancy begins a clerk will attend the property and meet with the new tenants. The inventory is checked and endorsed as correct by both the tenant and inventory representative by signing each page and any amendments agreed. Keys are handed over and meter readings recorded. The completed report is then held by the agent or inventory company.
