Rental property

Maintenance logs, periodic inspections and changeover checklists for let property.

Landlords and hosts are judged on how quickly they responded and what condition the property was in. Both of those are evidence problems, and evidence means dated records.

Sheets in Rental property

Rental Property Inspection Record

Record a property visit properly, with space for photograph references and both signatures, so the visit is evidenced.

RP-02 2 pages

Landlord Periodic Inspection Report

Record a mid-tenancy inspection properly, separating what you need to repair from what the tenant needs to address, with the notice you gave written at the top.

RP-04 2 pages

Holiday Let Guest Register

Keep a simple register of who stayed and when, in a form you can produce if somebody asks for it.

RP-05 1 page

Rent Payment Ledger

Settle an arrears question with a document rather than a memory, and hand an accountant something that already adds up.

RP-06 1 page

Rent Receipt Book

Give a tenant paying in cash the proof they have no other way of holding, and keep a matching record yourself.

RP-07 1 page

Tenant Information Record

Have the details you need in an emergency, rather than discovering the only phone number you hold is the one that is not answering.

RP-08 2 pages

Tenancy Deposit Record

Make each deduction defensible by writing down the reason, the amount and where the photograph or invoice is at the time you make it.

RP-09 1 page

Move-In Condition Report

Establish what the property was like on day one, in a document both sides signed, so the end of the tenancy is not an argument from memory.

RP-10 1 page

Move-Out Condition Report

Compare like with like at the end of a tenancy, so any deduction rests on a documented difference rather than an impression.

RP-11 1 page

Property Key Register

Know how many keys exist and where they are, so you can tell whether a lock actually needs changing.

RP-12 1 page

Maintenance Request Log

Record the date something was reported as well as the date it was fixed, which is the pair of dates that actually matters.

RP-13 1 page

Landlord Property Record

Keep the front page of a property file, so somebody taking it over tomorrow would know what they had.

RP-15 3 pages

Rental Property Expense Log

Arrive at the year end with a total and a filed set of receipts instead of a shoebox and an afternoon.

RP-16 1 page

Tenancy Dates and Renewals Record

Stop the dates that matter arriving unannounced, by writing them down in one place with the interval you have decided on.
