Tenancy Handbook EBOOK

PREPARING TO MOVE OUT

Once you have provided notice to terminate your agreement, your Investment Portfolio Manager will discuss the ‘vacating’ process with you, including providing you with a checklist to help maximise your bond return.

Some important things to arrange are:

» Cleaning, maintenance, and rectifying any damage caused by you » Professional Carpet, mattress/soft furnishings & linen if supplied and applicable » Ensuring all globes and batteries are in working order » Pest fumigation (if applicable) » Disconnecting any utility accounts » Arranging a mail redirection and updating your address

» Upon handing back keys please ensure you hand back all keys that were provided to you at the start of your tenancy and any duplicates made. Please bring in your cleaning, carpet cleaning & pest fumigation receipts

After you have moved out and returned all keys and remotes to your Investment Portfolio Manager, a final inspection of your apartment will take place, which you are more than welcome to attend. The inspection will compare the condition of the apartment to the condition it was in when you first moved in and will determine whether you are responsible for any cleaning or repairs (fair wear and tear excluded). Your Investment Portfolio Manager will provide you with a final inspection report, detailing any proposed bond deductions within 14 days of the end of your tenancy. THE FINAL INSPECTION
