End-of-Tenancy Moving Checklist for Renters

/in /by

Moving out of a rented property can be stressful — especially when you’re juggling packing, cleaning, and trying to get your deposit back. At Mooveit Removals, we’ve helped thousands of renters make smooth transitions to their new homes. Here’s our essential end-of-tenancy checklist to help you stay organised and stress-free.

1. Give Proper Notice

Before anything else, check your tenancy agreement and give the required notice to your landlord or letting agent — typically 1 month for periodic tenancies.

Pro Tip: Always provide notice in writing and keep a copy for your records.

 2. Book Your Removal Company Early

Removal slots fill up fast — especially at the end of the month. Booking your move with Mooveit early ensures you get your preferred date and a stress-free service.

 Let us do the heavy lifting — literally.

3. Deep Clean the Property

A thorough clean is often required to get your full deposit back. Focus on:

  • Carpets and floors

  • Kitchen appliances (especially oven and fridge)

  • Bathroom (tiles, grout, taps)

  • Windows (inside)

  • Skirting boards and behind furniture

Need help? Ask us about professional cleaning partners we trust.

4. Take Photos for Evidence

Before handing back the keys, take time-stamped photos of each room. This protects you in case of disputes over the property’s condition.

5. Repair Minor Damages

Patch nail holes, replace broken bulbs, and tighten any loose fittings. You’re not liable for wear and tear, but avoid being charged for minor repairs.

6. Pack Smart

Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and plenty of labels. Declutter as you go — donate or bin items you no longer need.

Need packing materials? Mooveit can supply boxes, tape, and bubble wrap at affordable rates.

7. Settle Outstanding Bills

Notify your utility providers and pay off any outstanding balances. Take meter readings on your final day and keep a record.

8. Redirect Your Mail

Update your address with:

  • Royal Mail (redirection service)

  • Banks, GP, DVLA, employer, subscriptions

9. Return All Keys

Ensure you return all keys, including for windows, garages, and mailboxes. Get a written confirmation if possible.

10. Do a Final Walkthrough

Before you leave, do one last inspection. Check cupboards, drawers, and behind doors. If possible, walk through the property with your landlord or letting agent.
