Welcome to your new home! Before you take the keys, there are a few things you’ll need to do.
You’ll need to pay your first month’s rent and any additional move-in fees when you sign your lease. A security deposit will be collected and held for the duration of your lease. When you move-out, a portion may be used to pay any damages beyond normal wear and tear.
When you sign your lease, you’ll also receive your official move-in date. An inspection may also be scheduled at the same time. This is a chance to highlight any potential issues with your rental before you move in.
When you move in, the unit’s utilities will need to be placed under your name. In order to avoid any outages, it’s a good idea to do this about 5 days before your official move-in date. Your lease may require you to place the utilities in your name within a few days of your move-in to avoid violating the terms of your agreement.
We wish that good tenants could stay forever. But when you’re ready to move on, the steps below can help make the move-out process easier.
When you decide it’s time to move out, check your lease first. If you’ll be moving out before your current term is over, you may need to pay fees in order to break your lease. Either way, you’ll need to provide written notice of your intent to vacate, including the date that you intend to move out.
Before you hand over your keys, you’ll need to return your unit to the same condition it was in when you moved in.
Within 21 days of your move-out date, you’ll receive your security deposit back, minus any unpaid ledger balances you may. Your security deposit cannot be used to pay your last month’s rent. If you do not pay your rent for the last month of your stay, this will be reported to the credit bureaus, and legal action may be pursued for back rent that you owe.
