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.

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.

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.

This is a list of the most common charges encountered when tenants move out and leave the premises in need of repair. Please note that these charges are minimum estimates, actual charges may vary. Normal wear and tear, and the remaining life of the item in need of repair have been considered. This list is not all-inclusive and there may be other charges for cleaning, repairs, or replacement of items.
