End of renting contract

mintel_2

Thank you for the reply. I do have a Assured shorthold tenancy, the landlord does not live in the property. The other people I live with I did not get on with so really would not like to leave the keys with them. Is there any way I can get the keys to the landlord? I cant afford to have them delivered.

take photographs of the room before you leave to make sure he cannot claim you left it in a mess

since you are leaving today, i would text, then follow up with a letter tomorrow, saying that you have left the keys in an envelope inside the room.

It is possible to leave on the day your tenancy ends without giving any notice, but this is not usually advisable. It is best to give your landlord notice if you can, especially if you have paid a deposit and need it back.

Check with each of the 3 deposit schemes for yourself: DPS, TDS, and my deposits. Get written confirmation from them either way.

Take photos of *everything* inclduing the meter readings, looking down the toilet bowel, inside cupboards, yard/garden outside the property, ledges on which dust may have gathered. Lift the mattress and photograph the frame/base separately.

You need to get the keys back to him today, or he may claim that you over-ran on your tenancy. Can you get him to text you with directions on what he would like you to do with the keys today?
