End-of-Tenancy Clearance Checklist for Landlords

Prepare Your Property for New Tenants Without the Stress

When tenants move out, they often leave behind unwanted furniture, rubbish, or even garden waste.
If you’re a landlord or letting agent in West Lothian, this checklist will help you clear and prepare your property quickly — and legally.

Step 1: Inspect & Document

Walk through the property and take clear photos of everything left behind — furniture, rubbish, or damage.
This helps with any deposit deductions and provides proof for insurance or inventory purposes.

Step 2: Identify What Needs Removing

Look for:

  • Old furniture or mattresses
  • Kitchen appliances and electronics
  • General rubbish or bin overflows
  • Garden and shed waste
  • Carpets or curtains needing replacement

If you’re unsure what can stay or go, make a quick checklist — our team can help assess it.

Step 3: Book a Licensed Waste Removal Service

This is where Bulkys West Lothian comes in.
We work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers to clear out waste fast, legally, and respectfully.

We handle:

  • End-of-tenancy clear-outs
  • Post-eviction waste
  • Abandoned furniture
  • Garden and garage rubbish

All collections include lifting, loading, and responsible disposal at approved recycling centres.

Step 4: Request a Waste Transfer Note

As a landlord, you’re responsible for ensuring waste is disposed of legally.
We provide Waste Transfer Notes for all collections — proof that your waste was handled by a SEPA-licensed carrier.

Step 5: Final Clean-Up

Once the waste is removed, inspect the property again and arrange any cleaning or repairs before new tenants move in.
A clear, clean space makes re-letting faster and easier.
