I want to vacate my rental property… What do I do?

Change of circumstances and planning to move? As a tenant, there’s a few things toconsider before packing your bags to ensure that the vacating process runs smoothly.

The notice period

If you intend to leave a property, providing as much notice as possible is not only arequirement of the tenancy agreement – but can also determine any costs you may berequired to pay. There are two types of tenancy agreement in NSW:

A periodic lease, where the term has expired or is not specified. Under this agreementyou are required to provide 21 days’ written notice to vacate.

A fixed-term agreement, where there is a specific term. Under this agreement, you arerequired to provide 14 days’ written notice prior to your vacating date which should beon or after the expiry of the lease… if you have reached the end of the specified term.This notice can be given up to the expiry date of the lease.

Breaking a lease early

When you sign a fixed-term tenancy, you are committing to stay for the full term. If youbreak your lease term early, your landlord may require you to pay “break fees”; a way ofcompensating them for financial loss including loss of rent, advertising and letting costs.

Returning keys

On the day you vacate, you must hand your keys into the office. Our team will then assistyou to complete a Final Key Return acknowledging the return of keys. Be sure to returnthe keys by the due date, as rent will be charged on a daily basis until they are returned.

Final inspection

A time will be arranged for an outgoing inspection of the premises. Tenants areencouraged to be present while the inspection is conducted, as the current condition ofthe property will be compared with the condition at the commencement of the tenancyagreement. Any damage or need for cleaning may incur claims against your bond,however, this only occurs in a minority of cases. Once approved by the landlord, yourentire bond will be refunded.

*Bonds will be returned directly to your bank account through the Rental Bond Board.
