Unfurnishing an apartment
If you are new to being a landlord there is something that you will not expect, the generosity of tenants, with every change of tenant there will be some sort of issue with the inventory if your letting agent is good they will resolve it, this means replacing the item concerned, not giving you back £1.50 for a missing wine glass. What your letting agent will not get involved with is extra items left in the apartment and you probably will not get told. From my experience this can range from extra kitchen items (usually ok) to extra furnishing items not so good for example your furnished flat can end up having granny type throws and cushions added. Another thing that they like to leave is tea coffee sugar half bottles of orange squash etc not the sort of thing as a new tenant you would consider using. So make sure all such items are removed. The exception to this I'd say would be left over cleaning products and bin bags after all you want to encourage your next tenants to be clean and tidy.
