Move Out Instructions

MOVE OUT INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:

If you fail to turn in your keys by the said date of move out, you will be considered a holdover tenant. You will be charged rent per day until your keys are turned into our office or eviction proceedings may be initiated.

After you have completely moved out and completed all cleaning, you must turn in ALL keys, garage opener remotes and parking passes to the office at 3030 Latrobe Drive, Charlotte, NC 28211 and supply us with your forwarding address during our normal business hours. If your move out date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday, you must turn in keys to our office the next business day, no later than noon. You will be charged rent per day until the day we receive all keys to the property you are vacating OR 30 days after we receive your notice to vacate OR until your lease ends, whichever is later. If you are on Auto Draft, you must provide the Accounting Department written notice to terminate the draft agreement.

The following list of cleaning requirements should be completed before turning in your keys. This will ensure the best possible return of your Security Deposit. All Security Deposits will be processed and you will receive an Itemized Security Deposit Statement within thirty (30) days of move out and key return. Any balance due, i.e. additional rent for late payments, returned checks, legal and administrative fees, repairs, will be deducted from your Security Deposit and the overages will be billed to you.
