Ending Your tenancy

If you wish to end your tenancy, you must give notice in writing.

Please email: info@zkinvestments.com

We will confirm your tenancy end date in writing once your notice has been received.

If your moving date changes, please let us know as soon as possible.

Once notice is received, we will begin marketing the property and arrange a pre-termination inspection.

Property inspection

Before you move out, we will visit the property to:

  • Agree the condition it should be left in

  • Identify any repairs that are your responsibility

  • Confirm any outstanding rent or charges

  • Answer any questions you may have

You may be charged for any repairs, cleaning, or clearance required after you leave that are your responsibility.

Please make sure you complete the following:

  • Pay all rent up to your tenancy end date

  • Remove all belongings and rubbish

  • Leave the property clean, tidy and in good condition

  • Ensure any garden is tidy and not overgrown (if applicable)

  • Complete any agreed repairs

  • Return all sets of keys by your tenancy end date
  • Keys must be returned to ZK Investments
  • You may be charged rent until all keys are returned

Before leaving, you should:

  • Inform your local council (Council Tax and Housing Benefit/Universal Credit)
  • Take final gas, electricity and water meter readings
  • Provide readings to your utility suppliers
  • Leave any prepayment cards or keys at the property
  • Provide a forwarding address
  • Ensure the property is secure with all doors and windows locked
  • Make sure all personal items have been removed
  • Leave the property ready for the next tenant
