Please ensure that all your personal effects have been removed from the property, to avoid confusing  your items with those of the Landlord.

Please note each of the following items which require your attention:

NB: Decorating - Please do not try and touch up affected areas in patches as there are  different shades of paint. If you do attempt to touch up the paint work in this way you will be  charged to rectify this. 

Please note, professional cleaners will be booked to clean and deal with the property if it not returned  to the required standard. This will be discussed with you at check out. 

It is a good idea to check through your inventory prior to the final inspection date to ensure that no  items need replacing and that nothing is missing, damaged or requiring cleaning, to avoid any  deductions from your deposit monies. 

As you are aware, the deposit monies are retained as security for the performance of your obligations  under the terms of the tenancy agreement. The deposit will be returned to you, less any deductions  that may have been agreed to compensate the Landlord, wholly or in part for any breach, or  obligations on your part. 

NB: It should be noted that we will undertake a final inspection prior to any deposit  being returned. 

I must remind you that it is important for you to contact the various utilities (gas, electricity, telephone  and council tax) to advise them of your departure and make arrangements for final payment. Please  do not have any of the services disconnected.  

In addition, please arrange for the re-direction of any incoming mail as we cannot guarantee that mail  will be forwarded after your departure, this is essential to avoid identity fraud. 

I trust you have had a satisfactory tenancy, but should you have any queries, please do not hesitate  to contact us.
