If you need to clear a private rented, council property or house that is being returned to the housing association, then do you know where to start? So many people either leave them in the incorrect, not agreed state or have questions which are not answered in time for their move. So we thought it would be helpful for us to write a checklist for you, to help you with your move.
Clearing your Property Correctly
Here are the most important points and questions to ask or raise with your landlord:
- When do the premises need to be vacated by? This is often the date that the rent is paid up until.
- How clean does the property need to be – clean or spotless and immaculate?
- Do the carpets need removing? Most councils want the carpet to be removed.
- Does the lino in the bathroom and the kitchen need removing?
- Are the curtains to be left so that the property is secure as it will look lived in?
- Are there any items of furniture that belong to either the landlord or the housing association?
- Who does the cooker belong to?
- If your property has a fitted stairlift, you must check whether it has been provided by the council or the landlord. Does it need removing?
- You must be happy with the condition you are leaving your communal areas or outbuildings.
- Who is paying the invoice? Almost every time this is the tenant, but sometimes the landlord may part for particular parts or services to be undertaken, such as the removal of the carpets.
