I am moving out, what do I need to do?
You must give our office two full months written notice before you move out. The notice period must begin on the first day of the month. You are responsible for the rent and utilities (if applicable) for the full notice period, even if you move out earlier.
We prepared a report on the condition of your unit before you moved in. Once you’ve given your notice, we prepare another report before you move out. By comparing the two reports, we track damages beyond normal wear and tear, and charge tenants for these damages.
During the notice period, our staff will show your apartment to prospective tenants. You must leave your unit clean and empty when you move out.
