You probably have the legal right to enter the moment the keys have been returned and notice given. However, I would first (as a matter of record) notify the <b>legally appointed executor</b> of the estate that I will be entering the premises. I presume that the tenant left a will and appointed an executor - family members or friends cannot make demands on behalf of the estate unless duly appointed. I would then inspect the premises and make note of any repairs (not normal wear and tear) that has to be done. I would then draw up a detailed statement with: * Cost of repairs * Unpaid utilities Furthermore: In terms of your rental agreement (if a month's notice was stipulated in the agreement) and their written notice of 17 June, you may be entitled to rental until end July anyway. The above will then be off-set against rent and deposit payments and the balance returned by registered mail to the <b>executor of the estate</b>.
