That, if the tenant breaches the agreement, the tenant is liable to pay all or any part of the remaining rent under the agreement, increased rent, a penalty or liquidated damages, That, if the tenant does not breach the agreement, the rent is or may be reduced or the tenant is to be or may be paid a rebate of rent or other benefit.” In addition, the Regulation says: “A residential tenancy agreement must not contain a term having the effect that the tenant must use the services of a specified person or business to carry out any of the tenant’s obligations under the agreement.” Inconsistent and prohibited terms are void A term is void if it is: Inconsistent with any term of the standard residential tenancy agreement, or Prohibited by the Act or Regulation. Additional terms Additional terms may included in the standard residential tenancy agreement if: Both you and the landlord agree to them They do not conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 or any other legislation They do not conflict with the terms of the standard agreement. If you are unsure about an additional term, get advice from your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service or apply to NCAT for an order that the term is invalid. Arrange a move out inspection Every move-out checklist for tenants ends with scheduling a final inspection. So, don’t forget to call your landlord a week or so before leaving the property and ask him/her to conduct a move-out walkthrough of the rental unit to see whether any security deposit deductions are justified. Be present at the move-out inspection, discuss any issues that may arise, try to find mutually beneficial solutions, and request your tenancy deposit back. Get your security deposit back When you move out of a rental property, you’re legally entitled to get your tenancy deposit back (unless you have done extensive damage or violated the terms of your lease agreement).
You already know what to do when moving out of a rental to avoid deposit deductions – all that is left to do now is send a written request by certified mail (with return receipt requested) to your former landlord (keep in mind that you’re required to provide your new address in your request). Depending on your state law, the landlord will have two to three weeks after receiving the letter to either return your deposit money or provide a written statement of deductions (for unpaid utility bills, repairing damaged items, cleaning the property, etc.). If there’s no response or if you disagree with your landlord’s statement, you might need to go to small claims court to settle the issue. Conclusion Whether you’re moving out of a rental or your own property, moving house is a difficult and stressful process that requires a lot of careful planning, meticulous organization, and hard work. Make sure you research all your options, plan your move well, find affordable and trustworthy moving partners to work with, book their services as early as possible, pack safely and efficiently, take care of all the necessary moving tasks and preparations, and ensure a smooth and successful relocation.
