MOVE-OUT PROCEDURES

Your lease requires you to provide 30-days advance written notice before moving. If proper notice is not given, you will be charged rent for those days.

  • Please give us your forwarding address and phone number to expedite the return of your deposit. We will issue one check for any security deposit refund. This check must be made out in all tenants’ names. It is the tenants’ responsibility to work out the details of distribution. FSRR is required to make any repairs and make an accounting within 30 days of move-out.
  • Please call our office approximately seven days before move-out to schedule a walk-through inspection. Utilities must be on at the time of inspection.
  • Keys and remotes should be returned to the office by 5:00 p.m. of the move-out date. Rent charges will continue until the keys and remotes are received and all personal property removed from the home. Do not leave keys and remotes in the home.

Besides leaving the home clean w/carpets shampooed (not ChemDry), the following items should be attended to in order to assure the refund of your deposit:

  • All light bulbs working
  • Smoke detector batteries replaced with new
  • Air filters replaced
  • All household and yard debris removed
  • All keys and garage door openers inventoried at move-in returned to the office
  • Removal of all debris and arrange for final garbage pickup. Professional debris removal is very expensive and will be charged to your security deposit.
  • Mow, weed and rake yard

Note: Holes in walls may be spackled to reduce move-out costs to the tenant. However, care must be taken to do a quality job or a charge to repair and repaint the wall may be incurred.

Repainting costs are prorated based on the length of tenancy.

The purpose of the refundable security deposit is that the home will be returned in the same condition it was found when rented, normal wear and tear is expected. Any alterations should be discussed with the Property Manager. The inspection form that was given to you at move-in will be used to make this determination. Any repairs or upkeep needed to bring the property back to this standard will be charged to the deposit.

Please call to schedule a move-out walk-thru inspection with the Property Manager after all items are moved. All keys and remotes are to be returned at that time.
