When moving out of your unit, it is important to understand the possible move-out charges that could be added to your account once we complete our move-out inspection. Many of these charges are easily avoidable with minor maintenance and cleaning before vacating the unit.

How to Avoid Move-Out Charges

There are simple ways to avoid the most common move-out charges and save your money—see our list below!

• Replace any broken/non-functional items such as lightbulbs, outlet covers, drip pans on stoves, vent covers, blinds, etc. that have been damaged during your residency.
• Clean all surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom including countertops, refrigerators, inside of cabinets, toilets, showers, bathtubs, etc.
• Take all unwanted items to the road for trash pick up. You will be charged for any remaining trash if it has to be removed from the house, porch, or yard.
• Vacuum and sweep all floors after everything is out of your unit. Consider shampooing the carpets if you have any heavy stains or pet damage.
• Spackle any holes left in the walls from nails, thumb tacks, and/or screws.

What are possible move-out charges?

Section 3.1 of your lease outlines possible move-out charges that could be added to your account if there is more damage or cleaning necessary than what is covered by your security deposit. The chart below shows the minimum that could be charged for each occurrence.
