Inventories – We strongly recommend that a professional inventory is to be taken of
the contents and condition of the property. A professional inventory is regarded
as independent evidence in case of a dispute.
Insurances – It is usual for most Tenancy Agreements to make provision for the fact
that the Landlord is obliged to insure both the contents of the property to their
full value as well as the building (this is usually included in a service charge
if the property is leasehold). The Landlord should make certain that all appropriate
insurance is in place covering the full value of any loss during a tenancy. Many
household insurance policies do not cover loss of rent, so the Landlord should
check the cover is comprehensive.
Utilities – The Tenant is usually responsible for the payment of council tax, gas,
electricity, water and telephone charges. Some service charges paid by the Landlord,
will include heating and hot water, and this will be reflected in the rental figure
achieved. Please note that for short lets all utilities except the telephone would
normally be included in the rent.
