You may find yourself in a situation where you want to end your tenancy agreement with Urban Choices Property. In accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act and your lease agreement special conditions, you are required to give us written notice of your intention to vacate, contact Urban Choices to make arrangement for a joint final inspection, return keys on the agreed date and time, and pay rent up until the last day of your stay in the property.

​

You will need to put in writing (by email or letter) to your Property Manager your intention to vacate giving at minimum 28 days notice. You will also need to ensure the property is left in a suitable condition.

If you need to carry out any repairs or re-decorating, this will be fully explained to you. You can telephone your Property Manager if you are not sure about the procedure, or if you have any questions. By following these steps, you can avoid being charged for any resident damage.
