A property inventory clerks are professionals who make compile a detailed report of the condition and contents of a property before it is handed over to a perspective tenant by a landlord. The clerk may carry out mid-tenancy checks on the property, and will return when the tenancy expires to carry out a inventory check-out report that compare the original condition of the property with the end-of-tenancy condition. The return of the tenant’s full deposit is usually dependent upon the state in which he or she leaves the property, excluding fair wear and tear.
