Renter checklist
By Stuart Malcolm · Updated
A lightweight starting list for the recurring jobs that are yours to handle.
- Test alarms if this is your responsibility
- Clean appliance filters
- Check bathroom sealant and visible mould
- Back up tenancy and inventory documents
- Review household paperwork
- Check emergency contact details
Choose the timing that fits your situation.
Homes, products, responsibilities and local requirements differ. Follow manufacturer instructions, professional advice and local rules where relevant.
Know which jobs are yours
Your tenancy agreement, building guidance and local rules determine which checks and maintenance tasks you are responsible for. Keep your own list focused on those items and report property problems through the appropriate route.
Keep recurring admin in view
Alongside household routines, you can add periodic document backups or household admin reviews. For one-off deadlines or fixed renewal dates, use the calendar or reminder tool you already trust.
