To end your tenancy, you must give us four weeks’ notice, in writing, ending at midnight on Sunday, although we may agree a shorter period. Please note that we will charge you for clearing any rubbish you leave behind or any repairs that are needed.

 

When you move, you must:

• get gas and electricity meters read and close your accounts;
• remove all your belongings including those in lofts, sheds and gardens;
• clear away all rubbish, leaving the property clean and tidy;
• check that you have left everything in good order; and
• leave all original fixtures and fittings. 

Please remember to return all your keys to us on the day you move out or by noon on the Monday at the latest - otherwise you will be liable for an extra week's rent and the cost of gaining entry.

Before you move, your rent account must be clear. If you move and there are rent arrears we will seek to recover this money. If necessary, we will refer the matter to a debt collection agency. In 2006/07, we collected £107,000 of former tenant arrears.
