Tenants move in must do's!

TENANT MOVE-IN GUIDELINES
Letting Agent Guildford

• Ensure that you have signed all of the relevant documentation
ie: Tenancy Agreement, Standing Order Instruction, Inventory

• Once you have arrived at the property you should take time to fully check the Inventory and Statement of Condition against the property, inc. any fixtures and fittings, within the allotted timescale. Note any amendments and return signed inventory to the letting agent's office. If the inventory is not returned within the agreed timescale it will be taken as understood that you accept the inventory as it stands so take care.

• Ensure that you contact the relevant utility companies to inform them of your new address, and the date your tenancy commenced.
ie: Gas, Electricity, Water and Council Tax
Your Letting agent should be able to inform you which utility companies are the current suppliers to the property. Should you choose to change suppliers you must inform your Letting agent, providing them with the details.

• Ensure that you take a note of all meter readings to report them to the utility companies when you contact them. The readings should also agree with those stated on your inventory.

• We strongly suggest that all tenants protect themselves with appropriate Contents insurance, suitable for a rented property, which should include sufficient cover for accidental damage to landlord’s goods, and we trust you will make the necessary arrangements. Contact your agent if this is not in place and you would like to discuss the matter further.
