They will have already paid for the Check in Inventory.


Its standard practice that the tenant pays checkout inventory costs, the landlord pays checkin inventory costs. The landlord could waiver I suppose....

Presumably an inventory was carried out and not by PH (unless the landlord doesn't give a ****e about his furnishings). The cost of it is incurred by someone and it needs reimbursing as I said above. The landlord could be doing the inventories itself or hiring a contractor to do it, but either way it incurs costs and £40 sounds about right.

I don't understand the big deal.

It's totally normal but normally they specify how much it'll cost in the contract in advance. And actually £40 is relatively low for that. I think my contract on my current place says it's £75.

Anyway the contract says you pay, you signed the contract it's totally justified.
