# Create, edit or delete an inventory

### Create an inventory

To create an inventory in Rentila, follow these steps: go to the “Inventories” section, then click the “New inventory” button.

When you create the inventory, you can enter the following information:

- The **type** (check-in or check-out inventory),
- The **ID**,
- The **tenancy**,
- The **meter readings, type of heating, keys and other fittings**,
- The **rooms** (you can add several rooms, delete them or duplicate them),
- The **items and equipment in each room** (flooring, walls, furniture, appliances and so on),
- The **condition and description** of each item,
- The **photos**.

### Edit an inventory

To edit an existing inventory, go to the “Inventories” section, click the “Edit” action to the right of the inventory concerned, make your changes, then click “Save”.

### Delete an inventory

To delete an inventory, go to the “Inventories” section, then click the “Delete” action to the right of the inventory concerned.

### Inventory template

When you create a new inventory in Rentila, the software generates a pre-filled document template automatically.

You can preview it in the inventory creation and editing form.

You can also download it in Word, PDF or OpenOffice format from the “Inventories” section, in the “Templates” column on the right.

You and your tenant can sign the inventory in two ways:

- Sign it **digitally**, from your Rentila account;
- Or print it and **sign it on paper**.
