Letting Agent dodgy inventory

Hi, we are due to leave our property soon and just saw a piece of a paper in the stuff we got when we moved in. It says under inventory that we have received an inventory when we moved in, that if we do not make amendments to it, sign and give it back, then it would be considered we agree with everything on it. We asked to see the inv when we moved in, our landlord said he'd get us one and never did. Obviously, I don't want to be charged for things that are not out fault, and I feel like this is very dodgy. We have NEVER seen an inventory, so this paper stating that we have received one is BS. My question is this: Would this actually stand up in a Deposit scheme argument? I don't think it would personally, because the inv needs to be signed by both parties for it to be valid, and this just seems really dodgy.

Thoughts?

If you read the below, it says that you and the landlord need to sign the inventory for it to be valid. If there is any dispute with the deposit (which is legally yours), then the fact that there isn't a proper, valid inventory will be in your favour.
