Ending a lease well is mostly administration, and administration is where bonds go to die. Fixed-term leases usually do not end automatically on the last day — you must give written notice of your intent to vacate, often 14 to 28 days before the end date, or the lease can roll on. Then come the exit clean, the final inspection against your entry condition report, and the utility transfers that stop you paying for the next tenant's power. This planner sequences the whole move-out into a checklist you can finish in an afternoon, with the paperwork organised so your bond return is a formality rather than a fight.
A step-by-step planner for ending a lease or moving out — the notice you must give, who to tell, in what form, and the inspection-day checklist that protects your bond.
The lease generally continues and you remain liable for rent — many leases roll into a periodic tenancy at the end of the fixed term unless proper notice is given. Written notice on the lease's required form is what ends your obligation.
Email is a defensible start but not always sufficient — some leases and jurisdictions require a specific form or signed notice. Give written notice on the required form, keep the copy, and confirm receipt in writing.
The normal ageing a property undergoes with ordinary use — faded paint, worn carpet in walkways, minor scuffs. You are not liable for it, and the entry condition report is the evidence that separates it from actual damage.
