No – the Check-Out is carried out at, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, 1300 on the last day of the tenancy.
If you are planning on vacating the property before the last day of the tenancy, consideration needs to be given to the following:
- Keys returned before the last day of the tenancy are accepted for the purpose of the landlord seeking to sell or re-let the property and will not give rise to a Surrender by operation of law.
- Meter readings for any electricity, gas, oil and any other relevant fuels, water supplies to the property taken before the last day of the tenancy are not valid for the closure of your utility accounts. Only meter readings taken on the last day of the tenancy are valid for the closure of your utility accounts.
Replacement Tenancies
Where a tenancy is terminated at the tenant’s request before the end of the initial period, without the tenant giving the period of notice required under the tenancy agreement consideration needs to given to the following:
- Carrying out the Check-Out does not constitute an acknowledgment that the tenancy has ended and you remain liable until such time as any replacement tenant enters into a tenancy agreement and takes possession of the property.
- Keys returned before such time as any replacement tenant enters into a tenancy agreement and takes possession of the property are accepted for the purpose of the landlord seeking to re-let the property and will not give rise to a Surrender by operation of law.
- Meter readings for any electricity, gas, oil and any other relevant fuels, water supplies to the property taken before the Check-In for any replacement tenancy are not valid for the closure of your utility accounts. Only meter readings taken at the Check-In for any replacement tenancy are valid for the closure of your utility accounts.
