Move-In/Out information sheet
(6/2025)
Whether you are moving in our out of one of our managed properties you should read and be familiar with this information which will help you to know how to protect your security deposit and credit.
After you give us or have been served with a 30 day notice to vacate you should receive a letter from us giving you a “release” date. This is your receipt for the 30 day notice. Please call our office immediately if you do not agree with this date or if you plan on moving on a different date. Call us 48 hours prior to your move-out to arrange for a check-out inspection.
You are entitled to a pre-move-out inspection. This inspection is not required. If you want one, contact us to schedule a walk through within the last two weeks of your residency. We will look for potential damages or cleaning issues that could lead to security deposit deducations.
We will be comparing the condition you leave the property with the written record & photographs of the condition of the property at the beginning of your residency.
Normal wear and tear: You are entitled under the law to normal wear and tear. This law usually applies to painting, carpeting, and window coverings, but is not limited to only those categories. There will be an allowance made for these items based on how long you occupied the residence.
Painting is based upon a three year life span. If you live in the property less than three years you will be charged for a prorated share of the painting.
Carpet Wear is normally measured with a life expectancy of six years. If you damage the carpet, you will be charged a prorated share of the cost to replace or the entire cost of the repair.
Drapery replacement is judged on a three year life span, but Blinds have a life span of up to ten years. The same charges apply as do for carpeting.
Damages/Repairs: You are charged for any damage done to the property. This includes excessive wear and tear, holes in walls/doors/ceilings, damage to appliances/counters, yard neglect, misuse of the property, any trash that needs to be removed from the property etc.
Cleaning: Cleaning is chargeable to the resident. Be sure to review the reverse side of this sheet for full details.
If you are on a lease that has not expired please call and discuss this immediately with our office.
It is our responsibility to re-rent the property as soon as possible. We generally start advertising 2 weeks prior to your move-out date. We will try to set appointments at your convenience. It is seldom that an occupied unit is shown more than once or twice a week. We will let you know 24 hours ahead of time. Please be sure that we have your current phone numbers.
Be sure your rent is paid in full to avoid late charges. You may not credit your deposit back to rent.
When you move give your new address to the person that checks you out of the property. No deposit refund determination will be made until careful review of all the facts. This takes 14-21 days. You will be notified by mail. Your rent obligation ends on your release date or when all keys are turned in, whichever is later.
If you wish to cancel or extend your notice, please do so on writing. The earlier the better since we may have already re-rented the property. You may be asked to pay for any a costs if incurred. Thank you for renting from us.
Return all door, laundry, common doors, and mailbox keys you were issued. Missing keys will be charged to replace.
Be sure to provide us with your forwarding address and notify the post office of your move.
Once you vacate, we will provide a refund determination along with a detailed explanation for any withholdings.
