Notice of Intent to Vacate

All tenants are asked to provide written notice of intent to vacate before leaving. This gives our team adequate time to begin preparing for a new renter. Refer to the terms of your lease to determine the agreed-upon move-out date.

Property Condition

  • Rental Cleaning: Please return your property to its original rental condition before handing in the keys. You'll need to remove all of your belongings from the unit, professionally clean the floors, and wipe down all hard surfaces.

  • Landscaping & Outdoor Areas: If you have outdoor space where you take care of routine landscaping chores, do these once more before you move out.

  • Repairs: If any cosmetic damage has occurred in your rental home, take the necessary steps to address this before vacating.

Utilities 

The utility accounts for your rental property need to be placed in your name immediately after the lease signing. Take care of this quickly to avoid unnecessary fees or temporary outages.

Security Deposit

Your security deposit serves as protection against any damage that could occur during your stay. The best way to ensure the full deposit is returned is to make certain any damage is addressed before you move out. If we do identify damage after your departure, we will make the repairs and charge you for all expenses associated with the work. The deductions will be made from your deposit. The remainder will be returned to you as quickly as possible, along with an itemized invoice with the deductions detailed.
