Disconnecting appliances
If you have any gas appliances, you should contact a Corgi registered gas engineer to arrange for the disconnection. This is because supply pipes must be property sealed. Similarly, a qualified electrician should disconnect any electrical appliances, such as showers or washing machines.
You can claim this payment back within your Disturbance Claim as long as you have a valid receipt.
Don't forget to arrange for final readings to be taken of gas and electricity meters. You will probably need to give at least 48 hours notice to the gas and electricity companies.
Housing Benefit & Council Tax
You must inform the Benefits Service of any change of address. If you already receive housing benefit or council tax benefit, you must tell the Benefits Service your new address as soon as possible, to make sure you continue to receive all that is due to you. Remember, housing benefit is only payable on your principal address.
It is important that you hand in your keys as soon as possible after you leave the property, so that services such as water and gas can be disconnected.
