ATTENTION: Tenants – VERY Important move out information. READ CAREFULLY!
Leases expire on _August 15, 2012 at 12 noon. Please make arrangements to adhere to the deadline. It is necessary that the place is completely empty on this deadline. Please insure that ALL items, including those wishing to be discarded are removed from the townhome. (i.e. Do not leave old furniture, etc..). You will be charged for removal of debris. Please note that if you moved in early last fall your move out date has been amended.
The unit should be in the condition it was in when you moved in. If you participated inthe Work-for-Rent program, then the condition of your unti should be in the same condition as it was AFTER you cleaned it. Your unit was in very good condition upon move in after you were paid to clean it. Please refer to the Security Deposit Refund Information page I have enclosed. This can also be found in your leases. Use this page as a checklist for move out and make sure that all items are taken care of. I will use this as a reference when checking the place. If you have any questions about the condition of an item, I can provide you photos of your unit.
VERY IMPORTANT! Please make sure you disconnect your cable and Internet service and retuirn all equipment as directed by the respective companies. You are completely responsible for all disconnection and return of any equipment to the appropriate provider. We ask that you call 3 weeks in advnace of yoru move out to setup the disconnect date. This gives incoming tenants a chance to schedule a connection date upon there move in. Time Warner Cable is usually backed up 2-3 weeks for connections so please make arrangements early.
Mail delivery
Please insure that you fill out a change of address form at the post office prior to your move out date so that your mail is automatically forwarded to you. I cannot guarantee that the new tenants will hold your mail for you so I suggest you make sure this is taken care of.
Make sure all KEYS have been returned. Please put these in an envelope with your name clearly labeled on the envelope, and leave them on the kitchen counter next to the stove before you leave or mail them to me. There will be a charge to each tenant that does not return a key and a major charge by the post office for an un-returned mailbox keys.
Security Deposits
Each tenant should provide me with an address for which to mail security deposits. If no address is provided, I will mail your security deposits to the address on your original lease. Security Deposits will be mailed within 30 days following the termination of the lease. If the above guidelines are followed, you can expect your security deposit much sooner. Items that may be deducted from the security deposits include cleaning charges, damage charges, unpaid utilities, loss of keys, and failure to follow the guidelines in this letter.
If your unit will be unoccupied prior to your move out date, please inform me immediately. DO NOT disconnect the utilities until we have talked about an alternate move out date. Early move out can result in leniency on damages for minor repairs and cleaning. IN addition, you will be allowed to disconnect utilities early (saving you $$). ALL tenants must be vacant and completely moved out for this to be considered an “early move out” and for utilities to be disconnected. Please inform us of your move out date if it is sooner than the lease expiration date. We only need to know the date that the last tenant residing there is leaving. Even if it is only a few days early, please inform us of this so we can get in there early.
