Remember all rent must be paid in full before move out! Your security deposit does not apply to rent.

In order to receive your security deposit follow the procedures below.

Step 1: Call your utility company(s) and cancel your service. THEY MUST REMAIN ON THRU JULY 26TH!

Step 4: Fill out the Deposit Forwarding Address form  located in your checkout packet and place on the counter during your checkout inspection.

It’s vital if you are living with roommates, that you all communicate and talk to each other to plan your check-out inspection. We will only do one inspection for the apartment.

At your scheduled check-out inspection, all your belongings must be moved out of the apartment and garage and all the cleaning must already be done. You will not be able to do anything after your inspection time due to the large number of inspections so make sure you are completely ready to go. You will need to turn-in and provide the following:

If all the keys are not turned in at the time of your inspection we will have to change the locks and you will be charged. This is very important, and no exceptions will be made!!

DO NOT MAIL KEYS TO THE OFFICE. DO NOT DROP KEYS IN THE DROP BOX.

If a minimum of one person renewed in your apartment yet there are new roommates moving in, a check-out inspection must be made for anyone leaving. It is vital that the entire apartment is picked up and clean, we will do a full inspection of any bedrooms/bathrooms for those roommates moving out.

All security deposits are returned within thirty days after the lease expires as long as we receive your Deposit Refund Forwarding Address Form. A detailed explanation will be sent with the deposit refunds which will include any deductions made and the amounts. If there are no deductions and we are refunding your entire deposit there will not be any explanation sheet included.

DO NOT PARK ON THE LAWNS AT ANYTIME OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR DAMAGES
