It is generally engaging and sometimes stressing to move from one place to another, whether it is moving to your own house or going to rent somewhere else. Sometimes as if the actual move is not stressfulenough, thereare probably meters to be readas well as informing all the relevant people about your change of address etc. Besides all this you also have to cope with an end of tenancy clean, the failure of which may result in you losing all or part of your deposit.
Landlords and agents will always want their premises left in the state you found them, so they will not tolerate or be content with a bit of dusting or polishing here and there. Most landlords and estate agents will always have an end of tenancy checklist and although they may vary, the basics remain the same.
