Renting ending a rental agreement. Easy English fact sheet You might need help to read this fact sheet. A friend, family member or support person can help you. What is a tenancy? When you rent a home it is called a tenancy. You sign a rental agreement. Rent is the money you must pay to live in the home. A tenancy is the time you rent a home. For example, 12 months. A rental agreement is a contract. It says you have rented the home how long you will rent the home for other rules you must follow. What is a rental provider? A rental provider is either: a landlord owns the home you rent, or an agent who looks after the home while you rent it and works for a real estate company. How do you end a rental agreement? You can end a rental agreement when the time specified has finished. For example, after 12 months. You write to the rental provider to tell them when you will move out. This is called giving notice. When you want to move out early you may have to pay some costs. Early means before the rental agreement ends. Call Consumer Affairs ɫƵ to find out how much notice you need to give. Phone 1300 55 81 81 Before you move out. You must: pay all bills and rent you owe. clean the home. take all your things with you. get the carpets steam-cleaned if your lease says this. give all the keys to the rental provider. give your new address to your rental provider. Condition report. When you move out, the rental provider will do a condition report. A condition report shows the condition of each room in the home. For example, the: walls floors windows. Condition tells us: how something looks. how something works. For example, broken dirty not working, needs batteries. For help call Consumer Affairs ɫƵ Phone 1300 55 81 81 Your bond.
