What to look out for

  • Check your tenancy agreement for the notice period and whether notice has to end on a particular day of the month.
  • Always ask for a pre-check-out inspection: you then know what to put right before you hand back the keys.
  • At check-out, photograph the whole property and the meter readings, with dates.
  • Ask for written confirmation of check-out stating that no damage was identified.
  • Send by recorded delivery so the date your notice was given is beyond doubt.

FAQ

What end date can I give?
That depends on your type of tenancy and what your agreement says — some require notice ending on a rent payment date. Check the agreement, and take advice if it is unclear.
Why ask for a joint check-out inspection?
So you agree together on the state you are leaving the property in. That makes it much harder for costs to be deducted from your deposit later.
