Move Out Information
Moving out
can be a wonderful experience as it marks a time of generally moving
forward. For many students it is a time
to start a new chapter in life with new responsibilities. As this takes place, we want the move to be
as smooth as possible for you, for us, and for the next people moving in – who
are very excited to move in; hopefully, just as you were. Here are some reminders:
§ You are in the driver’s seat when it
comes to moving out; you can make it smooth and easy with proper planning and
coordination. Or, you can make it very unpleasant for all by not doing what you
agreed to do on time. Again, this gets
very expensive. If we have to hire a
cleaning company or someone else to perform a service due to your neglect, or
do something that you agreed to do in your lease, we will add a 15%
coordination fee to their bill, and we will use a company of our choosing and
pass that expense on to you. Our
maintenance rate is billed at $40.00 per hour.
§ Moving out on time – or early: Contact our office and let us know your
plans. Moving out late is generally not
allowed and gets very expensive. Your
place should be clean and empty. We have
provided a cleaning check list (Move in/Move out Checklist) available on
our website: www.wmbgrentals.com/helpful)
for you to follow which is the list we use when inspecting. We require
using a professional cleaning company and ask that you give them the check list to work
with. We have companies listed on the
website above that you may choose to use.
If it is not clean, we will hire a company of our choosing and pass any
expenses on to you. Also, if you are planning on selling/leaving your
furniture/items to the new tenants, you and the new tenants MUST use the Agreement
for Purchasing Furniture Form (found on the same website above)
§ Walk through: You do not need to be
present at the walk through. We will do
a walk through when your lease ends; or, if you vacate early, after you have
vacated, at that time. It is our hope
that there will be no maintenance issues, but if there are, please notify us in
advance so they can be fixed and the property ready for the next tenant. If it is not ready due to your actions, or
lack thereof, the cost of the delay will be passed along to you in accordance
with your lease.
§ Utilities: Your lease requires you to keep the utilities on until your lease ends
not when you vacate. We recommend you
have utilities scheduled to be turned off the last day your lease ends not before the day.
§ Keys: All of your keys should be
turned over to the WMBG Rentals office – Keys should NOT be given to the next
tenant. Keys not turned in to the WMBG
office by your move out date will be considered lost and replacement of keys or
locks will be billed to you.
§ Deposits: Deposits are refunded in accordance with your
lease – not sooner than 5 days and not greater than 30 days after the end of
your lease. Please provide us with a
current mailing address and instructions so we may process the deposit refund
promptly.
