Tenant Move-Out Instructions
Simple Steps to Complete Your Move
Moving out of your rental can be overwhelming, but we’ve simplified the process to make it easier for you. From providing notice to returning your keys, our move-out guide covers everything you need to know. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition.
Provide Written Notice
Submit a written notice at least 60 days before your planned move-out date, as specified in your lease agreement. This notice allows us to prepare for your departure and coordinate the next steps.
Schedule a Pre-Move-Out Inspection
Contact us to schedule a pre-move-out inspection a few weeks before your move-out date. This optional inspection gives you an opportunity to identify and address any issues that could affect your security deposit.
Complete Minor Repairs
Take care of small repairs, such as patching nail holes, replacing light bulbs, and fixing any minor damage. Addressing these issues can help you avoid deductions from your security deposit.
Clean the Property Thoroughly
Before you move out, clean the property thoroughly, including appliances, floors, windows, and bathrooms. Removing all personal belongings and leaving the rental in good condition helps ensure a smooth move-out process.
Disconnect Utilities
Arrange to disconnect utilities, such as electricity, water, and gas, no earlier than your lease end date. This ensures you remain compliant with your lease terms and avoids service interruptions before your move-out is complete.
Return Keys and Provide a Forwarding Address
Return all keys, garage remotes, and access cards to our office on or before your move-out date. Don’t forget to provide a forwarding address, so we can send your security deposit refund and any final correspondence.
