Moving out checklist — things I wish I knew — End of tenancy coming up? Here's what I learned the hard way: 1. Take photos of EVERYTHING before you move in AND before you move out 2. Clean the oven. Seriously. Landlords charge £80+ for oven cleaning from your deposit 3. Fill nail holes with white toothpaste (works perfectly) 4. Redirect your mail at Royal Mail (£33 for 3 months) 5. Cancel your broadband with 30 days notice 6. Read your meter and take a photo on move-out day 7. Return all keys — lost key charges are insane Start at least 2 weeks before. Don't leave it to the last day.
