Move-Out Procedures Addendum
Your lease agreement requires that you leave the property clean and in the condition in which
you found it when you moved in, subject only to normal wear and tear, as per your Move-In
Inventory and Condition Form.
M&S Asset Management has every intention of returning your security deposit as long as you
have fulfilled your agreement with M & S Asset Management.
The instructions referenced below must be complied with to receive a refund of your security
deposit. If you do not clean in accordance with the required specifications detailed below, you
will be held liable for reasonable cleaning charges – including charges for cleaning carpet, walls,
appliances, etc that are soiled beyond normal wear.

It has been our experience that after the work and stress of moving out, tenants may be too tired
to clean the house. We recommend considering a professional cleaning company.
You are certainly free to choose any company you wish, or use our recommended company.
Please see last page for details.
If you hire a professional cleaning service, you should provide them with a list of what we
expect, and oversee and inspect their work.
CARPET CLEANING:
Tenants are required to have carpets PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED at the time of move out.
DO NOT rent machines from a store or use a home cleaning machine. Only professional
cleaning is acceptable. Be sure to have any spot treatment or pet treatment done as needed. If
you hire a carpet cleaner other than the one we use, be sure that the carpet cleaner will guarantee
their work to the M & S Asset Management’s standards/satisfaction. You will find details
regarding our recommended carpet cleaning service on the last page.
If the carpet is not cleaned to our satisfaction, the tenant will be charged for any additional
expenses.
Please follow the above instructions carefully. If the house does not meet the prerequisites after
the inspection, applicable charges will be made with NO EXCEPTIONS.
Upon leaving, please make sure to fully secure the property by locking all windows and doors,
and setting alarm systems if so equipped. DO NOT LOCK DEADBOLTS FROM THE
INSIDE!
