Standard Inventory Schedule (Wales)

This Standard Inventory Schedule for Wales is designed for use by private residential landlords, letting agents and property managers to record the condition and contents of a rental property at the start of a tenancy.

It provides a structured, detailed and professional framework for documenting the condition of a dwelling at the outset of a standard occupation contract, helping ensure clarity, consistency and legal compliance.

What This Inventory Schedule Covers

A detailed inventory is one of the most important documents in the letting process. It plays a key role in protecting both landlords and contract-holders by providing clear evidence of a property’s condition at the start of a tenancy.

The purpose of this Standard Inventory Schedule is to:

• Provide a clear and consistent method for recording property condition
• Support compliance with Welsh residential letting requirements
• Reduce deposit disputes between landlords and contract-holders
• Improve transparency in tenancy management
• Provide a reliable evidence base for check-out assessments

• Using a comprehensive inventory significantly reduces the risk of disagreements relating to damage, cleanliness or missing items when the occupation contract ends.

This professionally designed template helps you:

• Create a clear, accurate record of property condition and contents
• Reduce disputes over deposit deductions at the end of a tenancy
• Provide evidence to support fair and transparent deposit handling
• Improve consistency in check-in and check-out procedures
• Identify any issues requiring attention at the start of a tenancy
• Save time using a ready-to-use, structured Word template

Legal Requirement for Inventories in Wales

Under Welsh housing legislation, providing a property inventory is mandatory.

Landlords must provide an inventory to the contract-holder within 14 days of the start date of a standard occupation contract.

Failure to provide an accurate and timely inventory can increase the risk of disputes and make it more difficult to justify deposit deductions at the end of the tenancy.

This Inventory Schedule is in open format. Either enter the requisite details in the highlighted fields or adjust the wording to suit your purposes.
