When You Move Out
Move-In Checklist
Refer to the “Statement of Condition” in the Move-in Checklist you completed upon moving in since the cost to repair additional apartment damage will be deducted from your security deposit. We also recommend taking time-stamped photos of the unit’s condition at move-out, sending all documentation to your landlord or property manager, and saving a copy for your records.
Security Deposits 101
A security deposit is often collected upon signing a lease agreement and protects the landlord financially should a tenant cause damage beyond “reasonable wear and tear.” This page details security deposit rules and regulations, including how to ensure your deposit is returned.
