Key points
Finalise the current tenancy end date handoff
Label the documented tenancy end date, the hoped-for move date and any unconfirmed handover date separately. Send only after each date shows its source and certainty rather than presenting a plan as a confirmed fact.
Useful context
Separate tenancy end, notice and moving dates
A proposed move date, a notice date, a contractual end and a key handover are different events and should not be collapsed into one field.
The review is limited to the current tenancy end date decision during the final file review.
Working checklist
Check the record behind current tenancy end date
Mark the source and certainty beside every date.
Limit the current tenancy end date response to the details that serve the current property question.
- Tenancy address: tie the entry to the current property rather than a previous application.
- Notice date: use the date notice was actually given and keep a planned notice date labelled as planned.
- Contractual end: copy the tenancy end date from the agreement or formal notice and distinguish it from the applicant's preferred moving date.
- Expected move: mark the renter's proposed move date as a plan rather than a date proved by the tenancy record.
- Key handover: treat a confirmed return appointment separately from the contractual end and intended moving dates.

Working checklist
Finish the current tenancy end date check
Before handoff, confirm that the selected current tenancy end date record still matches the current request.
Practical example
A practical current tenancy end date example
The renter hopes to move on 12 September, but the current tenancy paperwork shows a later end date. The final file labels both dates and leaves the handover date open until it is confirmed.
