Tips for keeping your property in a good condition

Some key tips:

• Address damage promptly: Report and fix any damage right away to prevent it from worsening.
• Review your check-in inventory: Carefully go through the check-in inventory, noting any issues – no matter how small. Communicate with your landlord or agent about these concerns to avoid disputes later.
• No smoking: Avoid smoking in the property, as it could lead to deposit deductions for smoke-related damage and odours.
• Take responsibility for damage: If you cause damage, report it in writing. Seek permission before making repairs or replacements yourself.
• Respect the property: Treat the property and its contents with care and respect to avoid disagreements upon moving out.
• Address disagreements: If you disagree with proposed cleaning deductions, clearly explain your reasons and try to reach a compromise early on.
• Check-out process: When moving out, consult the check-in report and inventory. Maintain the property’s condition and attend the check-out inspection if possible.
• Know your rights: Be aware that your tenancy deposit must be protected by law. Ensure your landlord uses an authorized scheme and provides proof of protection.
