Move out Process

Training Program

About Lesson

Regardless of the circumstances under which the tenant moves out, the move-out process is the same.

Inspection & Move Out of System

When an apartment is vacated, a unit inspection is necessary.
Then the unit can be repaired and leased to another tenant.
As soon as the apartment becomes available, it must be written on the make-ready board.
The make-ready board is then updated based on the results of the unit inspection.

What to do when a resident turns in their keys?

Three months before the tenant turned in the keys, the tenant should have turned in their 90-day written notice.

If the 90-day written notice is not submitted and the resident moves out, the resident will be charged a no-notice fee.
