Here is a step-by-step guide from RealRenta to get the best result when your tenant gives you notice to vacate:
· The
notice to vacate should be sent to you in writing from your tenant
· Call
your tenant and confirm that you will be sending them a letter (use RealRenta to send all communications)
confirming the vacate date and the amount of rent owing as well as details of
the final inspection.
· Send
the tenant a copy of the original property condition report via the RealRenta platform.
· Advertiser
your property on RealRenta.com.au for Free
· Arrange
a pre-vacate inspection with your tenant
· Make
sure that the tenant has handed back the correct keys
· Ask
for a copy of the carpet cleaning receipt before refunding the bond
· Ask
your tenant for an address to forward any mail
· Perform
the final inspection and discuss any issues with the tenant and come to
agreement on what needs to be taken from the bond (if applicable)
· Fill
out the bond claim form online and print it for you and the tenant to sign
· Send
the bond form to the bond board
· Advertising
increases the exposure of your property and more exposure drives competition
for your property.
· Online advertising
dramatically increases this exposure because most renters these days, head
straight for the internet when looking for properties to rent.
