I have an inventory appointment in the second week of July when my tenancy ends. The letting agent use an inventory company so I just spoke to them to ask what time I should attend. I was told that due to Covid the tenant is not allowed to attend appointments at the moment because it’s difficult to socially distance in a property.
granted this flat is pretty small, but one can still socially distance. I think it’s ridiculous, you can go to the shops now, people are mainly back in work and some DC are returning to school, but they aren’t allowing two people to be in the same flat at the same time. Mean while today I have received an email from the letting agent saying they would be showing a potential applicant round later this week. No request for me and DS to be out, not that they can request that, but clearly the letting agents think it’s fine.
I’m rather suspicious of these inventory companies, in that I believe they’re out to find reasons to deduct money from tenants’ deposits, so I think attending the appointment is important. I think they’re taking the piss big time and I don’t trust them as far as I could throw them.
Is there anything I can do about this? AIBU to be pissed off and suspicious?
