Notice of Intention to Vacate
Thank you for notifying us of your intention to vacate the property you rent with Ashby Partners Property Management Canberra. This video is to assist you with finalising your lease.
 
Break Lease
Please note, If you are vacating the premises before the expiry of your fixed term tenancy, this is considered to be breaking the lease contract. You will be liable to mitigate the landlords loss for any expense which the landlord incurs as a result of you terminating the agreement early. This usually includes, but is not limited to; costs associated with advertising, letting, and loss of rent for up to 25 weeks.
 
Prospective Tenant Inspections
We will commence advertising the property and carrying out prospective tenant inspections approximately 3 weeks before your proposed vacate date. We will aim to carry out inspections twice weekly to take place on, - one afternoon during the week - and one Saturday inspection. Our leasing team will ensure that prospective tenants show respect to you and your property by removing shoes before accessing inside, prohibiting photography while your personal items are still present, and limiting how many people enter the premises at one time. Our leasing team will contact you to discuss suitable inspection times.
