When leaving one of our properties it is important that it is left in the same state as it was when you moved in, we call this ‘rentable’ – so the property should be in a rentable state.
If it is not left in a rentable state you may lose part or all of your deposit, and there may be further costs involved.
Some handy points are below:
- Ensure the property is fully emptied (including cupboards, lofts, gardens etc)
- Fully clean the property including appliances such as ovens, stains on carpets and any smells etc
- Put any damage back to how it was, this includes holes in the walls used to hang mirrors and pictures, damage to flooring, doors etc
- Ensure the house is properly decorated (like it was when you moved in)
- Do not dump rubbish in the garden or bins (i.e. the bins should have the correct items in them, for example don’t dump general waste in the paper bin)
The above should be done and ready for the end of tenancy date, when you will hand back the keys to the property and we will assess the property with you present.
We never like taking anyone’s deposit, so any concerns should be discussed with enough notice before the end of tenancy, if you wish we can arrange to visit the property beforehand to go through anything that will need done (i.e. make a list which you can follow).
