MOVE IN/OUT CHECKLIST

Leaving So Soon?

While we always hate to see one of our tenants vacate a property, we do our utmost to keep moving out a stress-free experience. Before you hand over the keys, review the following checklist items to ensure you address all of your responsibilities. Completely cleaning the unit and repairing any damage caused during your tenancy will help ensure you receive your full deposit back upon leaving.

Things to Check When Moving In/Out of Your Rental Property

  • All appliances should be cleaned both inside and out, with special attention paid to overhead fans and lights.
