Moving out checklist

For printing out and ticking off. Anyone who starts „three months before“ will have nothing left to do on handover day except hand over the keys. The explanations for the individual points are on the page Extract.

Moving out checklist

Swifina Immobilien GmbH · Flat    · Contract ends on  

Three months beforehand
  • Notice of termination written, signed by all tenants named in the contract and sent off — it must reach us by no later than the third working day of the month
  • received confirmation of receipt and your exact contract end date from us
  • New flat secured and handover dates coordinated
  • Internet and telephone contract cancelled or moved — the notice periods are often longer than the rental period
Four weeks beforehand
  • Handover date agreed with us
  • Retrieved the move-in inspection report
  • Discussed with us what actually needs to be renovated — before commissioning tradespeople
  • Bulky waste booked or trip to the recycling centre or the Wehr district landfill planned
  • Set up a mail forwarding service with the Post Office
  • Removals helpers, van and parking suspension organised where necessary
Last week
  • Basement, loft, parking space and garage cleared out
  • Any fixtures installed by the customer shall be removed, unless otherwise agreed
  • Plugs removed, drill holes filled locally and structurally bonded, agreed painting work completed
  • Flat fully cleared and thoroughly cleaned — at least in the condition it was handed over in
  • Emptied letterbox, removed nameplates from doorbell and letterbox
  • Residual waste and bulky items disposed of — leave nothing in the house
On the day of handover
  • Got all the keys, including copies: front door, flat, cellar, letterbox, garage
  • Meter readings for electricity, water and heat taken together
  • Handover protocol gone through and signed, took a copy with me
  • Update new address and bank details for billing
Afterwards
  • Registered at your new address — deadline: two weeks
  • Broadcasting fee updated
  • Deposit: We will get in touch as soon as the final bill has been prepared. A maximum of three monthly utility advance payments will be withheld until the utility bill is settled. There is no need for you to enquire.

Um Electricity you don't need to worry about that: we will take care of switching and registering your utility provider.
