Thinking about moving, but need to line it up with the end
date on your lease?
Trying to time a move can be tricky at the best of times, but
needing to move by an exact date can make things a little
more complicated.
Depending on your circumstances you may have a number
of options available to you, which will make juggling your
move easier.
Get organized before your lease runs out
It’s a good idea to start looking for your next home well
before your lease runs out.
If you’re looking to purchase a new home then be prepared
for it to take some time. It can take months (or years in
some cases) to purchase a property, so the sooner you start
your property search the better.
It shouldn’t take quite as long if you’re simply hoping
to find another rental, but regardless of where you’re
moving to next you should give yourself plenty of time for
house hunting so you’re not left scrambling to find new
accommodation at the last minute.
Ask for shorter lease periods
If you want to stay on in your current property once your
lease is up but know that you will need to move on soon
afterwards then chat to your property manager about your
options.
There’s a chance that your landlord would be happy to
accept a shorter-term lease than the one you’re currently
on, or perhaps let you stay in the property on a month-to-month basis.
Keep in mind however that your landlord may be able to
raise your rent if you’re not on a fixed-term arrangement.
Know what’s involved if ending a lease early
You can leave a property before its lease is up, but it’s
important to be aware of the consequences of doing so.
You may still be liable for rent until your lease is up, or at
least until new tenants can be found to take your place.
Other costs may also be associated with breaking your
lease early such as advertising costs, reletting fees or a
break lease fee, depending on the rules in your state or
territory.
Everybody’s situation is different so the best thing you can
do is talk to your property manager and let them know what
your plans are.
They will be able to let you know what options are available
to you and give you the best advice for managing your
move. It’s also worth checking the tenancy legislation in
your state so you know what rules might apply to you.
How to stage your home like one of the pros
There’s nothing quite like a property that is picture perfect
from the inside out.
Sure, it’s important that a property is clean and in good
repair, but if it impresses in the looks stakes then buyers
may be willing to forgive some of its faults.
That’s where home staging comes in. A stunning space
will attract a lot of attention when buyers see it online, plus
it will invoke an emotional connection when it’s viewed in
person too.
You could be missing out on getting the best price for
your property if you don’t make the effort to make it as
presentable as possible.
A home stager can help you make your property look like
it comes right out of an interior designer magazine, or if
you’re brave you could have a go at staging for yourself.
