Before you start
Twenty minutes of prep saves hours later, and most of the evidence you need in a deposit dispute is gathered here.
Kitchen
The room that decides most deductions. The oven and extractor get the hardest look on almost every checkout.
Bathrooms and en-suites
Limescale and mould are the two words that appear most often on Docklands checkout reports.
Bedrooms
Wardrobe interiors and the space under the bed are the two spots tenants forget most.
Living room
Presentation counts here; it is the first room the clerk reads as an impression of the whole flat.
Hallway, entrance and storage
If it is named on the inventory it is in scope, including the cupboards nobody opens.
Windows, balcony and winter garden
Internal glazing is yours. External panes above ground level are normally the building manager's job, not the tenant's.
The repeating details
Clerks are trained to check the same small items in every single room.
Final walk-through
The last hour protects your deposit more than any other. Evidence beats memory in every dispute.

If your deposit is disputed
Deposits on assured shorthold tenancies sit in a government-approved protection scheme (TDS, DPS or mydeposits), and every scheme decides disputes on evidence. This checklist, your before-and-after photos and a professional cleaning invoice are exactly the paperwork an adjudicator wants to see. Cleaning is the most common cause of deposit deductions in the UK, and it is also the easiest one to defend against with a paper trail.
