How should I deliver the home at the end of the rental agreement?

Method of delivery

At the end of the rental agreement, an employee of Pactum Vastgoed will visit you to do the final inspection of the rented living space. The rented property must be delivered completely empty and clean and any adjustments must be returned as they were at the start of the rental contract.

Hygiene

Make sure that the rented property is properly cleaned during the final inspection and that the home is completely free of personal belongings such as furniture and other objects.

The house is furnished

If you have rented the house including furniture, make sure that all furniture is back in its original place and that it has been properly cleaned so that the new occupant can use it immediately.
