Start the Tenancy With Clarity
A check-in is the important next step after your Inventory and Schedule of Condition has been prepared.
At the beginning of the tenancy, your Coopers inventory clerk attends the property to complete the check-in process and ensure the property's starting condition is properly documented.
Any relevant observations can be recorded alongside the inventory, together with information such as keys and meter readings where these form part of the agreed service.
The result is a clear record of the position at handover — helping landlords, agents and tenants begin the tenancy knowing exactly where they stand.
INVENTORY REVIEW
The Inventory and Schedule of Condition provides the starting record against which the property's condition can be confirmed.
FINAL OBSERVATIONS
Any relevant changes or observations at the point of check-in can be documented, helping keep the tenancy record accurate.
KEYS & ACCESS
Where included within the service, keys handed over at the beginning of the tenancy can be recorded.
METER READINGS
Where applicable, meter readings can be documented at check-in to provide a record at the start of the tenancy.
Why Is a Professional Check-In Important?
Because a good tenancy starts with everyone on the same page.
Even with a detailed inventory in place, things can change between the report being prepared and the tenant taking possession of the property.
A professional check-in provides an opportunity to establish the position at the point of handover and document any relevant differences or additional observations.
This creates a clearer starting record for everyone involved and provides valuable continuity when the property is eventually assessed again at check-out.
Start the tenancy with a clear record of the condition of your property at handover.
Provide landlords and tenants with a professional, consistent check-in process and documented tenancy record.
Begin your tenancy with the opportunity for the property's starting condition and relevant observations to be properly recorded.
