So, it’s time to head home. Have you picked a specific day earlier than the end of the tenancy? Have you agreed on this with the residence manager? Do you know what time you need to be fully moved out? Do you know where to hand back your keys to? It is important to head down to your reception and find out all the key information ahead of time.
