Moving In
Once you have paid your first months deposit and rent and signed the contract, you can move in. Remember to:
- Organise your own household contents insurance-the landlord's insurance will not provide cover for them.
- Make sure you know how all equipment in the property works and you have their manuals.
- Tell your gas, electricity, water and telephone companies the day you move in, making your own note of the meter readings.
- Find out the telephone number for the various emergency maintenance services.
Moving Out and Moving On You are responsible to pay for any damage you do to the property otherwise you may lose your deposit. Return the property to the landlord at the end of the tenancy in the same condition as at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. You may give appropriate notice to end your tenancy or move out at the end of the fixed term. If you choose to leave early when you do not have the right to do so, you will still be responsible for paying the rent. |
