Below we explain how to organize a viewing of a self-contained accommodation from the perspective of the departing tenant. What else you need to arrange after terminating your tenancy can be found on this page. 

Step 1: viewing date

The departing tenant schedules a date for a viewing at the same time as the rent cancellation.

Step 2: inspection

We will contact the departing tenant to schedule an inspection. During an inspection, we will assess the accommodation's condition and provide guidance on its presentation on your final day of rent. The caretaker will also check that you have all the keys; to do this, review your rental rules and retrieve spare keys back from friends or family. Additionally, the caretaker will discuss with you whether a final inspection is required upon departure and how the key transfer will take place.

Step 3: accommodation is online

Your home will be advertised online, For three days, anyone registered with the SSH can apply for it. Consider which items you might offer for takeover. 

Step 4: candidate list

The response period closes after three days. We invite the 15 to 25 interested house hunters with the most registration time to the viewing. These interested persons can confirm their interest via My SSH. Depending on the number of confirmations and cancellations, you will receive the final candidate list with a minimum of five candidates 48 hours after the closing date.

Step 5: viewing takes place

The viewing takes place and we select the interested candidate with the most registration time.

Step 6: contact with the new tenant

You will receive an e-mail with the contact details of the new tenant so that you can contact them about a possible takeover of items. If the caretaker has indicated that you can arrange to hand over the keys among yourselves, you can also make an appointment for this. Do you (also) have a phone key from iLOQ? Then schedule a digital key transfer via My SSH (menu ‘Rent termination’). At the scheduled time, the rights of the departing tenant will expire and the new tenant will have access. In case you do not plan a digital key transfer, the new tenant will have access from the rent start date at 00:00.
