Delivery of rental property to landlord: a complete guide

Process of delivery of a rental property

The process of delivery

The delivery of a rental home starts with a thorough cleaning of the home by the tenant. All personal belongings must be removed and any damage repaired. When the home is ready for delivery, the preliminary inspection takes place. During this inspection, the landlord checks the condition of the home and compares it with the recording condition. If the property is in the same or better condition than at the start of the rental, the rental agreement will be terminated.

The final inspection
