This End of Tenancy/Occupation Contract Checklist is a practical working document for landlords and letting agents in Wales to use when a tenancy (occupation contract) comes to an end.
There is no single statutory "end of tenancy" or "end of occupation contract" form. Instead, this checklist provides a clear, structured way to ensure that all key end-of-occupation steps are considered and recorded, helping to reduce disputes and oversights.
The checklist covers the main practical issues that arise at the end of a tenancy/occupation contract, including:
- Checking and accepting notice from the tenant/contract holder
- Recording the return of keys (with space to issue a key receipt if required)
- Completing the check-out inspection and inventory comparison
- Considering deductions, fair wear and tear, and repayment of the deposit
- Notifying utility suppliers and council tax of the change in occupation
The document is designed for internal use by landlords and agents and can be printed, saved to a property file, or used as a working reference when the tenant/contract holder vacates.
