Thank you for being a wonderful resident. We've enjoyed having you as a tenant, and we wish you the best in your new home. To ensure a smooth and easy move-out process and a full return of your security deposit, please use this checklist as a guide. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather an informative checklist of key considerations.  Your final deposit return will be assessed based on move out inspection results.

Key Dates & Final Actions

All keys, including mailbox and any amenity keys, must be returned by 5:00 PM on your move out day.

Final Inspection:   Schedule a final walkthrough with your landlord on or after your move-out date. Landlord will compare the property's condition to the move-in inspection report to assess for any damages beyond normal wear and tear.

Forwarding Address: Please provide your new forwarding address in writing before you leave.  Or provide a good working email address. Your security deposit disposition will be sent to this address within the timeframe specified in your lease agreement.
