Tenant Move-Out Procedures

The following information is provided to help you get your security deposit returned without any misunderstandings:

Submit your 30-Day Notice to Vacate (you may do this on our website or send written notice to our office).

Remember to clean your rental property inside/outside to avoid charges against your deposit. Refer to the

Move-Out checklist and Move-Out Charges for further information.

Return the keys to Safeguard – including door, mailbox, recreation tag, parking pass, etc. Put garage door opener(s) in a kitchen drawer.

Safeguard has 30 days to return your security deposit. Security deposits will be mailed to the forwarding address you provide to us within 30 days after you have vacated the property and returned the keys.

Move-Out Checklist

Please use the following checklist as a guide to completing your move out, and to help avoid deductions from your security deposit. This list, in conjunction with your original Move-In inspection sheet, will be used for your Move-Out

Inspection. We expect the premises to be in identical condition. The Property Manager will have the final responsibility for determining “normal wear and tear” and what is the result of damage abuse or neglect.

All rent and other account fees MUST be paid in full. Any unpaid balances are deducted from the Security Deposit first.

☐ All walls and ceilings dusted down & all dirt, smudges & grease washed off. Remove all nails – DO NOT PATCH,

SPACKLE OR SPOT PAINT NAIL HOLES OR TOUCH UP PAINT. If you paint and it does not match or if you do a poor job of filling holes, you will be charged for necessary painting to match the existing paint or to redo spackling.

Charges for painting depend on the length of time in the property and whether it exceeds normal wear & tear.

☐ Wipe down all baseboards, woodwork and windowsills

☐ Clean all doors and knobs inside and out

☐ Sweep & wash hallway floors and dust hallway walls

☐ Clean all light fixtures, ceiling fans, and vent covers

ALL repairs or maintenance items that are necessary to return the premises to the identical condition as in the preoccupancy inspection are the responsibility of the Tenant. The cost of these repairs and maintenance items will be deducted from the Security Deposit or charged to you afterwards (see the attached charge list). We will seek collection for any remaining balance.
