End of tenancy — what do I need to do when moving out?

Moving out checklist

1. Give proper notice

• Check your tenancy agreement for the required notice period (usually one month for a periodic tenancy)
• Notice must be given in writing — email is usually acceptable; check your agreement

2. Clean the property

• Leave the property in the same condition as when you moved in (fair wear and tear excepted)
• Clean all rooms, appliances, and outdoor areas
• Remove all belongings

3. Final inspection

• Your landlord or agent will carry out a check-out inspection, ideally with you present
• Compare against the inventory / check-in report
• Any agreed deductions will be documented

4. Return the keys

• Hand back all keys (including post box and garage) on the tenancy end date
• Get a receipt or written confirmation

5. Provide a forwarding address

• Your landlord is legally required to return your deposit to a confirmed address
• Update your address in LetTrack settings or notify your landlord in writing

After you leave

• Your landlord has a fixed period (10 days from agreement on deductions) to return your deposit
• You will receive a deposit return notification once processed
