Plan to move out of a rental and protect my deposit. Tenancy details and end date: [TENANCY]. Condition of the home: [CONDITION]. Records I have (photos, inventory): [RECORDS].

Create a timeline for the last month: notice and agreements (check the contract), repairs and cleaning plan with a room-by-room checklist, photographs and meter readings with dates, utilities closing, key return, and forwarding address. Provide a template email to arrange a checkout inspection and to request the itemised deposit return. Add guidance on what counts as normal wear versus damage, marked as depending on local rules [VERIFY], and what to do if I disagree with deductions, including free advice services.

Add a photo guide for recording condition in each room, a cleaning checklist by room, and a template for a polite follow-up if the deposit is delayed. Include a reminder to keep all correspondence, and a list of free advice sources to look up in [JURISDICTION] without naming specific organisations.
