Does anyone know whether this is legal, as it certainly appears unrealistic?
As a landlord I've made similar arrangements in the past when a tenant has moved out part way through a fixed term.
Because I offered the tenant an escape from their contract they had to offer me the management of their replacement and to ensure there were no problems as you describe.
If I were you I would lean heavily on the outgoing tenants to prove to you that the inventory is made good and that the property is suitably cleaned before you move in.

Hi all, quick question relating to inventory.
I'm moving into a friend's house, with three other guys, replacing three guys currently living with my friend. The estate agent states that a change in occupancy means we must accept the inventory as the contract was originally signed - i.e. when the original tenants moved into the property last time, and that any differences in condition (damage to property etc) from that time should be resolved between the incoming and outgoing tenants. It also means that we'd be moving into a dirty house. Does anyone know whether this is legal, as it certainly appears unrealistic?
Also having not gone through an estate agent for a couple of years, screw their charges. I may also be back here with a couple of questions, specifically relating to move out charges.
Thanks all.
