TENANT MOVE – OUT INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for honoring your rental contract by giving your Notice to Vacate in writing, in accordance with your Rental

Agreement.

In an effort to assist you in receiving a full return of your refundable security deposit after vacating, we’ve compiled this

packet.

To avoid misunderstandings in connection with your departure, we thought we would go over a few basic policies.

Please remember that the security deposit cannot be used toward your rent. We will return your deposit after all late

fees, change fees, utilities, returned check fees, or any other balance(s) due have been paid. Also, the dwelling must be

left clean and undamaged, normal wear and tear accepted. Normal wear and tear is defined as deterioration that occurs

without negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse. You were emailed a copy of your move in inspection report, if you

do not have a copy for your reference, please let us know and we’ll send you another copy.

Move-out inspections of properties are performed at various times throughout the week and can only be done after you

guidelines so please be thorough when cleaning your home. If the agent discovers repairs, maintenance, or necessary

cleaning at the move-out inspection, the appropriate company or vendors will be asked to quickly correct tenant

deficiencies.

Below is a list of items that may be used as a guide for cleaning the property when vacating. Again, this is just a guideline

and more or less may be needed for your particular home.
