Had a lovely young couple with a baby in our property for about 8 months, they gave notice to leave as he'd moved out after they split up and she couldn't afford rent. Sad situation for them. Property has been on market since.
Anyway, yesterday our very competent and well-trusted long-standing letting agent went to a property to do the check out. Although no one was there, some of tenants belongings were and the place obviously hadn't been cleaned. Keys hadn't been returned either.
Turns out that the bloke had promised her to go round and clear everything out and clean up but he has failed to do that. So, LA contacts the lady (as she was last resident) and they negotiate Friday 9am deadline for her to do cleaning and removal of belongings. We know her well enough to know she'll probably stick to her word.
Just wondered what we have to be careful of in this situation as we want to make sure that the LA does everything by the book.
TIA
