Planned. Exits A planned exit is one where the tenant gives notice of moving from transitional housing and this exit is planned for with adequate notice by both the housing and support provider. Tenants are responsible for notifying a housing provider when vacating a property. It is expected that the support provider will encourage the tenant to do so, and that the support provider will also advise the housing provider. Tenants are encouraged to give at least 14 days notice of their intention to vacate; however, it is acknowledged that circumstances may prevent this from happening. Tenants must return keys as soon as possible, preferably on the same day as the last of the removals is completed or within 24 hours of this at latest, in order to ensure that the property may be re tenanted as soon as possible. Transitional housing is a scarce resource and all stakeholders must work wherever possible to ensure that other people experiencing or at risk of homelessness have expedient access to this accommodation. A planned exit is not complete until all keys are returned and appropriate exit forms signed. Therefore, if the tenant has left the property but not returned the keys etc. then rent will be charged until the tenancy has been ended formally as stated above. The property will be inspected by a housing provider (ideally with the tenant and support provider) at the completion of the tenancy. At this inspection the condition report and inventory are completed; any changes, damages or missing items are noted and negotiation should occur with the tenant to pay for these if appropriate. Tenants and support providers should endeavor wherever possible to ensure that properties are left in a clean and livable state, with minimal damage so they can be re tenanted as quickly as possible. Disputed maintenance charges should come before VCAT for determination. 13.
