Your Moving Out Checklist!
Follow the guidelines to ensure you receive your full deposit.
At the end of every Alexanders tenancy, we will conduct a move out inspection to ensure that the property has been kept in a good condition. Whilst we take into account any reasonable wear and tear suffered by a property during the course of a tenancy, we do expect properties to be left in a clean and tidy condition, ready for the next tenants to move into.
To help you prepare your property for move out, we have compiled a checklist of necessary jobs for your information. To ensure that you receive your full deposit, you should make sure that you make every effort to follow the guidelines printed below.
ALL items not listed on the Inventory are to be removed from the property at the end of the tenancy. This includes personal belongings, refuse, furniture, food and cleaning products etc.
Please note that we are unable to take possession of any forgotten possessions and these will be removed from the property. An hourly charge of £35.00 per hour (min charge of £35.00) will be levied for removing any item left at the property.
All light bulbs and light fittings should be in good working order, unless previously reported as broken.
There will be a charge of £5 per standard bulb, £20 per energy saving bulb, £10 per shaver light or oven light, and £20 for fluorescent strips plus £25 labour charge if bulbs are not replaced. There will also be a £10 charge for broken starter motors.
