All your bags are packed, you’ve got Princess Froo Froo and you’re ready to leave that odd spot on the ceiling behind you as you go onwards forth, into the world! Or are you? Did you give written notice of your move? If so, did you give your notice to your landlord with thirty full days before your next rent payment is due? For example, if your rent is due on the 1st, you would need to give your notice on the 31st, or 30th depending on the month in question.
Now, get that move in sheet you were so diligent with when you filled it out, and the lovely pictures of all the funky spots and bruises of the home. These, my friend, do not go in any boxes. Have them in-hand when you do the final walk-through when you turn the property back to the landlord.
And those utilities also must be on for the walk-through. Otherwise, who is to know if the heater works, if the toilets flush, etcetera. Do not do this walk –through until you’re absolutely certain you’re ready. There’s no do-over’s or second chances after this point.
Finally, the crowning jewel of your journey, the security deposit comes. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, you know how well you treated the home, so you should know to expect all of it, or a fraction of it. Finally, for your viewing pleasure, a move out checklist: click here.
Hopefully this cleared up any questions about the rental process you might have had, if not, feel free to call our offices and allow us to clear things up for you.
