Ending your tenancy
If you need to end your tenancy, you must do the following:
- Click here to get a form to
end your tenancy. Our leaflet "How to end your tenancy” gives you more
information about what you need to do.
- Give us four weeks notice, to end on a Sunday and provide a new
address. The notice period will start on the working day that we
receive your written notice. (This notice period does not apply if
you are transferring to another of our properties.
- Leave your property and garden in a good, clean and tidy
condition, having removed all your belongings. If we have to remove
anything, clean your property, tidy your garden or carry out
repairs and maintenance that were your responsibility, we will
charge you.
- Return all your keys by 10:00am on the Monday following the day
your tenancy ends (or the next working day if there is a bank
holiday at the beginning of the week) and pay your rent up to this
date. If you do not return the keys, we will continue to charge you
rent until you do so or until we change the locks (we will charge
you for this). (If your tenancy ends because you have died and the
keys are returned before the end of the four-week notice period we
will only charge rent up to the Sunday after the keys have been
returned.
- Pay your rent up to the date that your tenancy ends. If, for
some reason you are unable to do this you must contact us to make
arrangements about how to pay this money.
- Redirect your mail to your new address.
