The Tenant’s Guide to Moving In and Out Seamlessly

Step 1: Before You Move In. Setting the Foundation

Once your rental application has been approved and your contract signed, the Seddiqi Properties team swings into action to prepare your new home. Prior to handover, we ensure the unit is deep cleaned, inspected for any maintenance issues, and ready for immediate occupancy. Before you move in, you’ll be provided with a checklist that outlines everything included in the property, as well as guidance on utility setup such as DEWA registration and any building-specific services. Our team is also available to walk you through community rules, access card procedures, parking details, and emergency contacts, ensuring that nothing is left unclear.

Step 2: Handover and Key Collection

On the day of your move-in, a Seddiqi representative will meet you on-site for the official handover. During this visit, you’ll receive your keys, access cards and useful information about the property and community. A condition report will be reviewed and signed by both parties, documenting the current state of the unit. This protects both tenant and landlord by providing a clear reference for future inspections.

Step 3: Settling In with Support

Moving into a new space doesn’t end once the boxes are unpacked. At Seddiqi Properties, we continue to support our tenants well beyond move-in day. Our team remains on hand to assist with post-handover queries, maintenance requests, or community-related concerns.

Step 4: Planning Your Move-Out. Start Early

When the time comes to move out, Seddiqi Properties ensures the process is just as structured and professional as move-in. We recommend informing your designated point of contact well in advance of your lease end date, in accordance with the required notice period outlined in your contract. You’ll be provided with a move-out guide that outlines the required condition of the property, cleaning expectations, and details about deposit returns. Transparency is a top priority, so there are no hidden fees or unexpected deductions.

Step 5: Final Handover and Deposit Return

Once the property has been emptied and cleaned, a final inspection will be arranged. You’ll return your keys and access cards, and the condition of the unit will be verified against the original handover report. If all is in order, the security deposit will be processed promptly in accordance with your contract terms. Our exit process is designed to be straightforward and respectful of your time. We know that moving out often coincides with life changes like relocations, new jobs, or growing families so we keep the paperwork light and the experience smooth.

Step 6: Staying Connected

Even after you’ve moved out, our relationship doesn’t end. Many of our tenants return to Seddiqi Properties when searching for their next home or recommend us to friends and colleagues. We’re always happy to welcome returning tenants and assist in finding the next perfect property to match your evolving lifestyle. For those relocating within our portfolio, we can coordinate your move internally, minimising downtime between units and ensuring you maintain uninterrupted service.

Moving doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right support, planning, and communication, the process can be efficient and even enjoyable. At Seddiqi Properties, we understand that a home is more than just a space. It’s part of your lifestyle, and the way you move in or out of that space should reflect that standard. From the first key exchange to your final walkthrough, we’re here to make every step of your journey feel effortless. Whether you’re arriving, staying, or moving on, you can count on Seddiqi Properties to deliver a rental experience defined by professionalism, care, and ease.
