Vacating

IT ALL STARTS WITH WHY…

Vacating A Rental Property

Thinking of vacating a rental property? There are a couple of key things you need to take care of to finish up your tenancy without any unnecessary complications.

To ensure a smooth transition during the vacating process, we have taken the time to prepare the below important information to assist you.

Giving Notice To Vacate A Rental Property

The Notice of intention to leave (Form 13) is used when the tenant/s are giving notice to the lessor/agent that they wish to vacate the premises by a certain date. A tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract that can only be ended in certain ways. Notice to end a tenancy must be in writing. A tenant gives the Notice of intention to leave to the property manager/owner when they want to vacate the property by a certain date. The tenant should use The Notice of intention to leave (Form 13) to end a periodic agreement, or at the end of a fixed term agreement.

Forwarding Address

When giving notice to vacate, it is important that you provide our office with your forwarding address. If you are unsure of your new forwarding address, we suggest that you provide a temporary address.

Payment Of Rent

It is important that you continue to pay rent until the date of vacant possession. You cannot utilise your bond to offset rental payments. Failure to pay rent will be recorded on your file, which could jeopardise your ability to secure a rental property in the future.

Redirection Of Mail

It is important not to forget to redirect your mail. You can obtain these forms from Australia Post.

Disconnection Of Utilities

Ensure that you disconnect or transfer all utilities to the property, including the telephone, Internet, electricity and gas (if applicable).

Properties With Pools

If your property has a pool, please contact our office to discuss the date that you will be disconnecting the electricity to enable our office to make arrangements (if necessary) to re-connect the electricity to ensure that the pool filter system continues to operate.

Final Inspection

Following vacant possession of the property, a member of our team will visit the property to carry out a final inspection to enable the bond to be refunded.

Bond Refund

Once we have conducted the final inspection we will be in a position to finalise the bond. It is important that all tenants who signed the original bond lodgement form are present to sign the bond refund form. Failure to have all signatures present will result in bond delays.

My brother and I recently purchased our first investment property through Why Property. It was a pleasure working with Craig, Johann, Mark and the entire team. They took time to understand our requirements and even in such a hot market, we managed to secure an off market property well under the market value and ended up with instant equity. We look forward to working with Why Property again in the future. Kudos to the entire team.

Outstanding buyer's advocate - highly recommend! From the very beginning, the team at Why Property Investment truly listened to what I wanted and what I needed from the property. They are highly knowledgeable, responsive and professional and guided me through every stage of the process. It was very clear that they have a deep understanding of the market which gave me great confidence in my decision. Mark and Jarrod are absolute stars and clearly know the market very well. I would highly recommend Why Property Investment to anyone looking for a buyer's advocate who truly listens, understands the market and acts in their client's best interests.

I recently purchased an investment property in Brisbane with the help of Mark and his team, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Mark was knowledgeable, transparent, and always available to answer any questions I had. His expertise in the Brisbane market gave me the confidence to make informed decisions, and he made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From day one, Mark was supportive, super knowledgeable, and always just a call away whenever I had questions (which was quite often!). He made the whole process feel so much easier and less overwhelming. I really appreciated the personal touch and genuine care throughout. I highly recommend Mark’s company to anyone looking for a reliable and professional property partner. Thanks - Anubhav

I had a fantastic experience working with the team at Why Property to find a new investment property. From the start, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly proactive. They took the time to understand my goals and preferences, and their insight into the market helped me feel confident at every step. They handled everything from shortlisting properties to negotiating the final purchase, making the process smooth and stress-free. Their communication was clear and timely, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark and the team at Why Property to anyone looking for an investment property—they truly went above and beyond.
