Out the Door Smoothly: Your Student Rental Move-Out Checklist ✅
The semester's winding down, finals are approaching, and with them comes the bittersweet reality – moving out! Whether you're jetting off for a summer internship or simply heading home, a smooth move-out can make all the difference. Here at Ferris Place Rentals, we want to help you navigate the process with ease.
Cleaning Champions
Refer to your lease packet for the specific cleaning requirements. [This ensures everyone's on the same page about the expected level of cleanliness.]
Discuss cleaning responsibilities with your roommates. Since move-out times can vary, clear communication is key to a spotless handover.
Here are some general cleaning guidelines to keep in mind:
Leave the entire house sparkling clean: This includes scrubbing kitchen appliances, wiping down cabinets and floors, and ensuring bathrooms are spotless.
Empty the fridge and pantry: Don't let forgotten food become a science experiment for the next residents.
Pack up your belongings, including all the trash: Don't leave any unwanted items behind.
Furniture disposal is your responsibility: If that old bookshelf isn't making the move, arrange for proper disposal yourself. Remember, any cleaning, trash removal, or furniture disposal costs will be charged to you.
Last one out? Trash duty's yours: If you're the final resident to leave, please ensure all trash and recycling are disposed of properly. Don't overload the outdoor cans!
Key Return
Leave your keys behind: By the lease end date, place both your bedroom key and house key on your dresser for easy collection.
Double-locking for security: If you're the last one out, use the spare key in the lockbox to double-lock the door after ensuring all windows are closed, appliances and lights are off (except the refrigerator!), and the place is secure.
Important Reminders
Unfortunately, late stays are not possible: We can't accommodate requests to stay or store belongings past the designated move-out date. Plan your departure accordingly!
Sublet move-out? Share the knowledge: If you have a summer subletter, make sure they are aware of these move-out requirements to avoid any confusion upon their departure.
Moving date confirmed? Let us know: If you know your exact move-out date before the lease ends, please inform us. This helps us manage the transition smoothly.
Utilities and mail forwarding: Don't forget to make arrangements for utility bills and mail forwarding to avoid any disruptions.
Security deposit return: To receive your security deposit back in a timely manner, please email us your new forwarding address after you've moved.
Thank you for choosing Ferris Place Rentals! We wish you the best of luck with your finals and a fantastic summer break.
