Tenancy days start and end at midnight, therefore we cannot demand that tenants leave the premises and return keys before midnight on the last day of a tenancy.
For example, if a tenant gives notice to vacate on the 15th of the month, they have possession of the premises until midnight on the 15th.

Always give your property manager several working days after a tenant has vacated to get a property inspected and up to standard before taking possession of the premises.This ensures that any issues that may arise at the end of a tenancy can be dealt with before settlement or the owner takes back possession of the property.
