Ending a tenancy

If you're moving out, we hope you've enjoyed your time with us and will be happy in your new home.

If you'd like to end a tenancy with us, please complete this form and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss next steps:

Returning a home

Our Home Return Standard details the expected condition the home should be returned to us in.

Our goal is to avoid recharging you, so please read our Home Return Standard carefully so you understand what you need to do in preparation for vacating your Red Kite home.

Keys

You need to return all keys and key fobs at the latest by 12 noon on the Monday following your tenancy end date to our office at:

Windsor Court
Kingsmead Business Park
Frederick Place
High Wycombe
HP11 1JU

If keys are returned late without prior agreement, we’ll automatically extend the tenancy by one week, and you’ll have to pay rent for that week.

Changing locks

If keys are still not returned after we have extended the tenancy by one week, we will give seven days’ notice that we will change the locks, and clear the property if necessary, and you will be recharged for these costs.

Contacting us

You can contact us regarding ending or extending your tenancy by emailing Relationship.Co-Ordinator@redkitehousing.org.uk or calling 01494 476100.

Extending a tenancy

If you are ending your tenancy, you may need to extend it a little beyond the date you originally thought you would be moving out - for example, if your new home isn't quite ready yet. If so, please complete our Extending Your Tenancy form:

Ending a tenancy following bereavement

We know this is a difficult time so we hope this booklet will help make the process of ending a tenancy and returning the home to us as easy as possible, and help you avoid unnecessary charges against the estate.

You will need to give us four weeks' written notice - this can be done either by the executor or by the individual who has been granted probate. If neither of these apply to you, then you should still inform us by completing this form.

Please note: If the home has been cleared and meets our Home Return Standard, 7 days' notice can be given and confirmation of approval for this would be provided by our Relationships Team manager.

You can also visit our support pages on coping with grief and loss.
