The property inventory app for UK tenants, landlords and letting agents

What is a property inventory report?

A property inventory (sometimes called a schedule of condition) records the condition and contents of a rented home, room by room, with photos. It’s made at the start of a tenancy as the check-in report and compared at the end in a check-out report, so everyone can see what has changed.

With Tenventory you take the photos in the app, add a condition and comment to each one, and send a professional PDF by email.

Do tenants need their own inventory?

It’s strongly recommended. If your landlord or letting agent doesn’t give you an inventory, or theirs is thin, your own dated photos are the best way to show the home’s condition when you moved in. That evidence matters if there’s a disagreement about your deposit at the end of the tenancy.

How do I prove the condition of a rented home for my deposit?

Take clear, dated photos of every room on the day you move in, before you unpack, including close-ups of any marks. Note meter readings, keys and alarm tests. Send the report to your landlord or agent so they have a copy, and keep one yourself. At the end, retake the same photos so they can be compared side by side.

Tenventory stamps every photo with the date, time and location, and gives each one a digital fingerprint so any later edit can be detected.

When should I do my move-in inventory?

On the day you move in, before you unpack. Empty rooms are quicker to photograph and nothing hides marks on walls or floors. Send the report to your landlord or agent within the first few days so they have it on record.

How long does a landlord have to protect a deposit?

It depends on where the home is:

• England and Wales: within 30 days of receiving it.
• Scotland: within 30 working days of the tenancy starting.
• Northern Ireland: within 28 days of receiving it.

Tenventory reminds you of the right deadline for your nation. It’s a record-keeping tool, not legal advice; check the rules with your deposit protection scheme.

What’s the difference between fair wear and tear and damage?

Fair wear and tear is the normal ageing of a home from everyday use, such as light scuffs or faded paint, and can’t be charged for. Damage goes beyond normal use, such as burns, stains or broken fittings, and may be charged for. Tenventory lets landlords and agents mark each change as no change, wear and tear, or damage, and works out a fair share of the cost based on the item’s age.

Can letting agents put their own logo on reports?

Yes. Add your agency name and logo once in Settings and they appear on every page of every report, along with your contact details.

Can I do mid-term inspections?

Yes. As well as start and end of tenancy reports, landlords and agents can record mid-term inspections, with the same guided photos, meter readings and alarm tests.

Does the other person need the app?

No. Every report is a PDF that you email from your own account. Tenants, landlords and agents can read it on any device and reply by email.

How much does Tenventory cost?

Tenventory is free to download and try. Create reports, take photos and preview the PDF for free. To email, save or share reports there’s one payment, with no subscription: £4.99 for tenants, or Tenventory Pro at £19.99 for landlords and letting agents.

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone or iPad, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync. There’s no Tenventory account and no Tenventory server, so we never see your reports, photos or tenants’ details.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. An Android version is coming. Sign up for updates below and we’ll email you when it’s ready.

Does Tenventory work on iPad?

Yes. Tenventory works on iPhone and iPad. Turn on iCloud sync to start a report on your iPhone at the property and finish it on your iPad.

Is Tenventory accessible?

Yes. Tenventory works with VoiceOver, larger text sizes and Dark Mode, and every button and photo has a spoken description. If anything is hard to use, email hello@lowworks.co.uk and we’ll fix it.
