If you receive housing benefit, you must let the benefit office know.
If you are unsure whether to inform anyone or not, it is always better to do so to make sure the move to your new home goes smoothly.
What do I have to do on moving day? (move back to the top)|
Your tenancy will end on a Monday. Please return all the keys for your home to us before 10am on the Monday on which your Tenancy Agreement ends. If you do not, we may charge you rent for extra weeks until the keys are returned, or charge you for changing the locks.
Please remove all of your furniture, floor coverings, personal possessions and rubbish. Leave your home and our fixtures and fittings in a clean and lettable condition. If we find it clean and tidy when we inspect it after you leave, we will offer the equivalent of one week’s rent in vouchers or as a refund.
If you leave any items in your home when your Tenancy has ended, we may sell or dispose of them (after attempting to give you notice of this). Any money collected from any sale of possessions will be first credited against your rent account if you have left with arrears owing. If we incur costs, we will charge you for them.
If you have furniture you no longer want which is in reasonable condition, please phone St Jude’s furniture store on 0113 245 0800. They will collect it and give it to someone who needs it.
Do not leave any people or animals in your property when you end your Tenancy. People still in the property after the Tenancy has ended will be taken to court as squatters. Animals left in the property when you leave will be referred to the RSPCA.
Turn off the central heating boiler, water supply and leave the electric cabling and any gas installation in a safe condition i.e. do not leave uncapped gas pipes where your cooker used to be or bare electric wires. Please leave manuals in the property.
