About this document
Under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme Regulations, the law provides for the swift return of a deposit to the tenant at the end of the tenancy.
If there is a dispute, there are now set procedures for dealing with the dispute. To maximise your time and avoid litigation, all parties should agree the contents of the property thoroughly.
If both the tenant and the landlord have signed the inventory and agreed how many pot plants there are, it will be clear at the end of the term that if one is missing, the tenant isn’t due all of their money back.
Of course the tenant might be due all of their deposit back, some or none. The point is that once you have agreed the contents of your property, there is less room for dispute.
All our residential tenancy documents include this comprehensive inventory. However, if you already have a lease or license agreement in place and have no inventory, it is a good idea to download one today and agree it with your tenant or landlord as a priority.
The law now requires that tenant’s deposits are more closely protected during the tenancy and that tenants are duly given back their deposit unless there has been adverse damage (other than reasonable wear and tear) to the property.

"I needed an Agreement and Google, as always, was where I headed. I found the Net Lawman site and initially I thought I needed a relationship type Agreement but the Lodger one was absolutely perfect.
I didn't think it would be so easy so would recommend your website to anybody who was looking for an Agreement to suit their needs."Wendy Auger
