Tenants Move Out Instructions

Move Out Instructions

Empty Unit Empty Unit

Tenants are required to give a 30 day notice prior to vacating the property.


MAKE SURE YOU GET AS MUCH OF YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK AS POSSIBLE!

Here we have provided instructions for the proper move out procedure. We know you will have a lot to keep track of during this transition. We hope this will make it more clear and organized for you. If you do have any questions, please call us at (202) 269-0303.

An inspection will be done only after all your personal property has been removed and you have cleaned the property. At that time you need to take the keys to the office. We consider you still living at the property until the keys are turned in. Rent will be charged until RPM receives keys and garage door remote - do NOT leave keys at the property. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RE-ENTER THE PROPERTY AFTER ALL KEYS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO THE OFFICE.

The better the condition of the property when you leave, the faster the deposit can be sent out. You will need to give us your forwarding address to send your deposit refund to. If you vacate the property prior to the end of the lease term, you will still be responsible for the rent during the remaining term of the lease. However, we will do our best to try and lease the property.
