leaving your home

If you have decided to move on or exchange to another property, there are some things you need to do:

Give us four weeks’ notice, in writing, that you wish to leave
Replace any broken or damaged items that belong to us, as you will be charged for any repairs that are not a result of fair wear and tear
Make sure that the property is empty, and that you remove all your possessions and any rubbish from the outside area as well
Leave the property clean and tidy, as you will be charged if we have to carry out any housekeeping duties after you have gone
Return all keys, as you will be charged if we have to replace any sets or locks
Give us your new address and phone number
Pay all rent and other charges up to the date of the end of your tenancy
Make arrangements to pay any arrears, as we will not be able to offer you another home until you do so
Redirect your mail and tell everyone who needs to know your change of address, including your energy providers who will arrange to disconnect your supply on a set date and send your final bill to your new address.

Once you give us your four weeks’ notice, an officer will arrange an appointment to inspect your home.
