Before you start
Twenty minutes of prep saves hours later. Most of the evidence you need in a deposit dispute is gathered here, before a single surface is wiped.
Kitchen
The room that decides most deposit deductions in Manchester. The oven gets the hardest look on almost every checkout.
Bathrooms
Manchester bathrooms still collect limescale around taps, screens and plugs over a long tenancy, and mould in the grout. Both get checked.
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 place.
Hallway, stairs and storage
Agents walk through these first, so they notice them first. If it is on the inventory it is in scope, including the cupboards nobody opens.
Appliances
Anything listed on the inventory as clean at move-in has to be clean at move-out.
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 was the leading reason for DPS deposit claims in 2025. Read the DPS findings. Our cleaning photos and itemised receipt give you evidence of the work booked and completed.
