If you’re moving out of a Selwood Housing property, there are five steps you need to follow to ensure your tenancy ends as smoothly as possible.

Watch our animation below for details on what to do when you give your home back to us, including information on how to tell us, how to leave the house in good condition and how to settle your account.

A charge will be applied to your account for any repairs that need to be carried out after you leave the property, so ensure you follow the steps outlined to avoid being charged.
