Tenant Info - Final Inspection Guide

 

The following information has been prepared to assist you when vacating the property you have been renting through Harvest Realty.

Please note that we cannot inspect the property until you have removed all belongings and have returned the keys. Any keys given to friends or relatives should also be handed back.

We ask that before the final inspection you: 

 

  • Ensure that our office has your new forwarding address and phone number.

  • Pay your rent until the vacating date in cash or by bank cheque.

  • Return all keys to this office including letterbox keys if any.

  • Arrange disconnection of your telephone, electricity and gas supply.

  • Re-direct all mail to your new address.
  
Attendance to the following matters prior to our inspection will save considerable time and prevent unnecessary delays in returning your bond.

Subject to the condition of the property at the commencement of your tenancy you should ensure that:
   1. The property is left in a very clean and tidy condition throughout with any stains to be
  removed from the carpets. Steam cleaning is compulsory.
