As we all know moving house can be stressful and moving from or to a rental property has its own challenges.
There are serval things you need to take into account when you are moving from a rental property to ensure that you don't end up with additional costs.
Your lease
It is vital that you have read your lease and confirmed:
The amount of notice you need to give
How you need to give that notice including confirmation
What cleaning or repairs will be required
The timing of the new lease potentially overlapping with the old so you are not homeless for a period of time
Timing
Book in certain things in when you know your dates, such as:
Lock in a removals company as soon as you can allowing time for cleaning once the property is empty
Begin packing and decluttering
Arrange any repairs that you need to so that your bond is not compromised
Book and end of lease cleaner or ensure that you will have time to do the clean yourself
Try using a moving checklist
Finally
Whether you are cleaning yourself or you are getting cleaners in, make sure to give the property a thorough clean, inside and out. Take photos of how clean and tidy the property is so that you have a documented time and date of how you left the property. Confirm when the inspect will take place so you can be present if possible.
If you are moving into a new rental it is a good idea to take photos there too. If there are any marks or damages you want proof that it was like that on day one and prior to you moving in.
