Building trust in UK rentals
Fair Let Inventory was founded with a simple mission: to eliminate unfair deposit disputes by giving everyone access to one transparent, verified record of the tenancy. We exist to protect deposits, remove opinion and guesswork from inspections, and make compliance effortless by turning every check-in, mid-term issue and check-out into tamper-proof evidence that tenants, landlords, agents and contractors can all trust.
Why we built Fair Let Inventory
Every year, tens of thousands of deposit disputes are raised in the UK and hundreds of thousands more tenants experience unfair deductions they never challenge. Landlords struggle to prove legitimate damage. Agents and contractors get stuck in the middle because the evidence is weak or inconsistent.
The root cause? Poor quality evidence. Phone photos without reliable timestamps. Paper inventories that get lost. No shared record of what happened during the tenancy.
Most disputes centre on cleaning, damage and redecoration. Shared, timestamped evidence makes decisions faster and fairer.
We saw an opportunity to fix this. Not by taking sides, but by creating a single source of truth that all parties can trust.

Built for the UK market
Fair Let Inventory is designed specifically for UK tenancy law, deposit protection schemes (TDS, DPS, MyDeposits) and the expectations of UK landlords and tenants.
Important: Fair Let Inventory is not a deposit scheme, adjudicator, insurer or legal adviser. We do not decide how deposits are returned. We provide verified evidence packs that support fair decisions by TDS, DPS, MyDeposits and the people involved in the tenancy.
