Ending Your Tenancy
When moving out of your home
We need you to:
- Give us at least 4 weeks notice in writing that you are ending your tenancy. The date you say your tenancy ends should be a Monday
- You can download, complete and return the tenancy termination form (57 KB) to let us know
- Tell us your new address
- Pay your rent until your tenancy ends, and any arrears and other money owed to L&Q
- Return all keys to your local office by 12 noon on the Monday when your tenancy ends. If you don't return your keys in time, we will charge you an additional weeks rent and the cost of changing the locks
- If you are transferring to another L&Q property, we may ask you to allow future tenants to view your home in the 4 weeks before you leave
Leaving your home in good condition
Please make sure you leave your home and garden in a clean and tidy condition so we can re-let it without having to repair things that you have damaged, change things that you have altered or remove old furniture and rubbish. We will charge you for the cost of work if we have to put things right.
If you had our permission to make improvements to the property, such as installing a new kitchen or bathroom, you may be entitled to claim compensation for this work. To find out if you qualify, ask your Neighbourhood Services Officer.
