End of tenancy contract references
Sub Title
When you signed your tenancy agreement you agreed to the below on page 10
AT THE END OF YOUR TENANCY, YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR HOUSE IS CLEAN AND TIDY, AND THAT YOU HAVE LOGGED ALL REPAIRS. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO SO YOU CAN AVOID HAVING TO PAY EXTRA FEES AT THE END OF YOUR TENANCY.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- Making sure the house is cleaned to the standard you found it before you leave
- Making sure your bedroom is cleaned thoroughly, including inside and underneath furniture and left to a standard you would be happy to find it when you moved in
- Not leaving behind more than one bag worth of rubbish per tenant
- Clearing front and back yards of any and all waste
- Repairs and maintenance that are considered by the landlord to be beyond general wear and tear
- Removing stains on carpets and fabrics (including furniture, curtains etc)
- Removing evidence of smoking inside the house
- Unreported repairs after you leave
If the above are not completed prior to cleaning, additional fees may be incurred, and photographic evidence will be provided where required.
SHOULD PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS BE NEEDED FOR YOUR BEDROOM AFTER YOU RETURN YOUR KEYS THE COSTS INCURRED WILL BE PASSED BACK TO YOU.
Both you and your guarantor then signed the above declaration.
The end of tenancy section of your tenancy agreement is as follows:
