MOVE OUT

When you are ready to vacate your apartment, please make sure you complete the following:

• Submit a request to vacate at least 30 days prior to the day you wish to leave. Request forms can be obtained in the manager’s office.
• When you have fulfilled the terms of your lease, you do not have to get a roommate release form. However, you are responsible for telling your roommate you are leaving.
• Fill out and turn in a change of address form, also available in the manager’s office.
• Clean your apartment. Proper cleaning instructions are provided in the manager’s office and can be found on the back of the lease agreement.
• Make arrangements to have all of your utilities turned off or transferred to your roommate, as necessary, when you leave.
• Make arrangements with the apartment manager for a scheduled checkout time between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. To receive clearance, all possessions and personal property must be out of the apartment, the unit must be clean and the inventory sheet completed.
• Turn in your apartment and mailbox keys to the apartment manager.

 

Tenants who leave without checking out will still be responsible for any damage, cleaning, or re-keying charges associated with the apartment. If you need to make arrangements outside of office hours, please contact your apartment manager. Roommates will be responsible for paying the full rent upon your departure.
