This End of Tenancy Checklist is a practical working document for landlords and letting agents to use once a tenancy has come to an end.
There is no single statutory "end of tenancy form", but this checklist provides a clear, structured way to ensure that all key steps are considered and recorded, helping to avoid disputes and oversights.
The checklist covers the main practical issues that arise at the end of a tenancy, including:
- Checking and accepting a tenant's notice to quit
- Recording the return of keys (with space to issue a key receipt if required)
- Completing the check-out inspection and inventory comparison
- Considering deposit deductions, fair wear and tear, and repayment timescales
- Notifying utility suppliers and council tax of the change in occupation
The document is designed for internal use by landlords and agents and can be printed, saved to a property file, or used as a working reference at check-out.
