Surely as experienced landlords and having performed many inventories pre and post tenants, we are capable of issuing our own inventories This, I DO NOT SEE AS a specialised job.Correct me if im wrong, but all i see necessary is a format of the relevent property details and 2/3 pairs of eyes, the landlords, tenants and if felt necessary witness and their signatures! I assume we will have to pay � forthis service, which i feel and i\'m sure many otherlandlords feel, we can competently perform ourselves. Why do we need \”inventory clerks\”?
