Midterms What's and why's?

This last week we've been catching up on some Midterm Reports. These reports are done 3-6 months after a tenant has moved in or the last inventory was undertaken. The Inventory clerk checks against the inventory any damage or changes in every room. The mid-term inspection also includes talking to the tenant checking they are happy with everything, if they have any concerns or worries over anything. Often the tenants will point out damage before you spot it and will explain how they are putting it right or will do before the end of the tenancy.

Tenants need 48 hours notice that this will be done and generally best to do it while the tenant is present. Take notes and photograph all rooms even if the tenants have their own furniture as a good record for the Landlord to know the current state of the property and how it is being kept.

If there are any issues discuss with the tenant there and then and also follow it up in writing. This often prevents the problems getting worse or disputes arising when the tenant moves out at a later date.
