Start with the decision in front of you
A clear move-out begins with the correct ending process and finishes with documented possession, condition and accounts.
- Check the agreement and current notice process.
- Confirm the end date and handover method.
- Retrieve the ingoing condition evidence.
Prepare before the deadline

Keep the useful records

How RentSeekr supports this step
Explore properties and rooms, build a shortlist, compare homes side by side and plan affordability with free tools. The supported workspace connects inspection bookings, applications, agreement review, condition records, repair requests and tenancy communication. Both parties can contribute condition evidence. Check the required form and process separately; supplementary exit evidence does not replace a prescribed condition report or decide a bond claim.
