Step 1: (For Tenants)   : Submit Your Security Deposit

Your security deposit is due immediately upon signing the lease, *not* on your move-in date. Please pay the deposit directly to Prime Properties DMV. After you move in, we will transfer these funds to your Landlord, who will hold the deposit in escrow for the duration of your lease and process your refund upon move-out.  You can find the payment methods at :    https://www.ppdmv.com/guide/payments

Step 2: (For Tenants)  Activate Your Tenant Portal (If Applicable)

If your new home is actively managed by Prime Properties DMV, you will receive an email invitation to join DoorLoop. Please accept this invite to set up your online tenant portal. 

Step 3:  (For Tenants) Transfer the Utilities and take Renters Insurance

Transferring all required utilities into your name is a strict prerequisite for receiving your keys. You should have already received a utility contact sheet from us. If you have not, please email Office@PPDMV.com  immediately.  Provide proof of utility transfers and Renters Insurance to Landlord.

* **Important Note:** The Landlord will schedule their utility services to be disconnected the day before your lease begins. Please make sure your services are scheduled to start on your move-in date so you are not left without power or heat!

Step 4:  (For Tenants and Landlord )Schedule Your Move-In Appointment

At least 48 hours before your desired move-in day, please reach out to each other to schedule a convenient time for your key handoff. If you need contact information each other, please let us know.

Step 5: (For Tenants and Landlord ) First month's rent or pro-rated rent payment.

On or before the move-in date, First month's rent or pro-rated rent is due to be paid directly to Landlord.  Please coordinate an agreed payment method such as Zelle, Venmo, etc.  And make sure the payment is completed as agreed.

Step 6: (For Tenants and Landlord ) Key Exchange & Move-In Inspection

During your scheduled move-in appointment, the Landlord will hand over your keys and conduct a joint Move-In Inspection. Both parties will document the current condition of the property in a formal report. Please keep a copy of this report for your records, as it protects you and serves as the baseline for your eventual move-out inspection.   A draft of report can be downloaded here.  Move-In Inspection 

You should also take pictures of the current condition of home for your records.
