#CHECKLIST FOR LANDLORDS WHEN TENANT MOVES OUT PROFESSIONAL#

Professional Cleaning Company: many tenants hire professional cleaning companies to thoroughly clean the property.Your inventory will assist with this task. The golden rule: tenants are required to return the property and items/appliances in the same condition they received it in, minus damages caused by wear and tear. If you were given an inventory report during check-in (most good landlords and letting agents will conduct a inventory report on move in day with your presence), have it at hand look through it carefully to remind yourself of what the condition of the property and all provided appliances were in when you moved in. It’s always best to have the property emptied well in advance of inspection date, because until then, it can be difficult to thoroughly clean the property or identify and address any potential matters of disrepair. You should have the property cleaned and emptied before the inspection takes place. You should confirm the final inspection date (most people will do this at the same time as when confirming the move out day, and it’s usually scheduled for the same day) with your landlord/agent, and then reconfirm a few days before. Make sure you have confirmed a move out date with your agent/landlord, and make sure you have written confirmation! Generally speaking, you can move out before the confirmed date, but you won’t be able to overstay unless you have permission to do so.

Prepare for your exist well in advance, so you have plenty of time to arrange any potential repairs and maintenance issues, removal companies, cleaning services etc. I know, I know, such a silly little tip, but probably the most valuable, and the one which tenants love to completely ignore. I can confidently say that the problems I have faced as landlord over the years with my tenants – during the moving out period – could have been easily avoided, or at least minimised, if the below was checked by each and every tenant when moving out. With that said, I’ve listed my top tips for tenants, to help make the process of moving out as organised as possible. Tenants expect every penny back, while landlords want to be compensated for every scuff and graze. Needless to say, the tenancy deposit is often the bone of contention during this time. Sadly, move out day is actually a common time for dispute, especially if tenants aren’t organised. Most notably, one of the most problematic periods of a tenancy is move out day it’s the one day when a perfectly healthy tenant and landlord relationship can quickly and effortlessly be reduced to shit. Over the years I’ve had herds of tenants move in and move out for my rental properties some have been a joy to work with right until I kicked them off my porch and waved them off into the unset, while the others, well, I couldn’t wait to see the back of their repugnant hairy asses.
