Tenancy Terms and Conditions - Part J
Leaving your home and ending the tenancy

1: You must give us four weeks' notice in writing if you want to end your tenancy. The four weeks' notice must end on a Sunday or Monday and you must give a forwarding address.

2: Once you have given us notice to end your tenancy you must give us access to your home to inspect it and show new tenants around. We will make an appointment with you before these visits.

3: At the end of the tenancy you must leave your home empty and secure and you must give us all the keys to it. If you rent any garages or sheds with your home, you must also leave them empty.

4: You must return the keys to your housing office before 12 noon on the Monday that your tenancy ends. If you do not return the keys on time, we may charge you extra rent for every week or part week until we receive the keys. If we have to change the locks to the property, you will have to pay our cost.

5: At the end of the tenancy, if there is any damage to your home or you have removed an item we own, you will have to pay for any repair or replacement and any other loss suffered by us.

6: If you stop using the property as your only or main home without telling us first, we will assume that you have given up the tenancy. We may then end your tenancy by giving you 28 days' notice.

7: Once the tenancy has ended, we will remove any item you leave in the property and we will either dispose of it, or store it, as the law allows. You will have to pay our costs for this.
