DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Hart
Hart is a mostly suburban and rural district in north-east Hampshire, centred on Fleet, with Yateley, Blackwater, Hook and a ring of historic villages such as Hartley Wintney and Odiham. Most homes are owner-occupied detached and semi-detached houses on estates built from the 1960s onwards, including large newer developments at Elvetham Heath and on former army land at Church Crookham. Private renting is well below the regional average, and rents and prices are high, helped by fast trains to London.

Will a DIY inventory stand up in a deposit dispute?
Deposit schemes (DPS, TDS, mydeposits) decide on the evidence, above all the condition at check-in compared with check-out. Dated photos of every room, signed by both sides, are exactly that evidence.
