Quick checklist
- Confirm notice/appointment.
- Take a wide photo of each room.
- Photograph any new damage or changes.
- Check for obvious leaks, mould, or ventilation issues.
- Check smoke/CO alarms visually (don't overcomplicate it).
What to look for (without digging through cupboards)
- Bathrooms: signs of leaks, mould, damaged sealant.
- Kitchen: extractor use, obvious grease build-up, appliance issues.
- Bedrooms/living rooms: stains, new marks, broken fittings.
- Windows/doors: any signs of drafts or damage.
Notes that matter
- Date and time.
- Who attended.
- Any follow-up actions needed.
Common mistakes
- Turning it into a full inspection every time.
- Taking photos but not writing what changed.
Using TenancyKit
- Create an interim inspection for the tenancy.
- Add any rooms/photos that matter.
- Export if you need to share it.
