Vacating - Final Inspection

It is our desire to make the vacating process as smooth as possible.  Once we have received your completed notice form of “Intention to Vacate Premises” we will send confirmation to you in writing.

At this stage we will also begin the process of advertising the property for rent. During the last 21 days of your tenancy we are permitted to access to show prospective tenants. Our Agency will contact you ahead of any appointments to arrange a suitable day and time of any inspection.

The Property Manager will arrange a suitable time to conduct a Final Inspection of the property. Vacating Tenancy Guidelines will be issued to you to assist you in preparation.

The Final Inspection can only be completed once the property is free of all personal effects, carpets professionally cleaned, all general cleaning completed, gardening completed and if any fumigation (if a pet has been at the property) arranged.

At the Final Inspection, our Property Management Team will use the Property Condition Report (PCR) which was agreed at the commencement of your tenancy.  Particular attention will be paid to the cleanliness to items such as curtains/blinds, windows, window tracks, floors, stoves (griller and oven), hand basin, sink, showers, baths and toilets. Our Team will also use the photos taken at the commencement of the tenancy for further clarification. 

Rent is payable until all keys for the property have been returned to our Agency.

Bond Refund applications are only processed after the satisfactory completion of the Final Inspection and all outstanding matters have been completed. .
