​Moving in
We’re as excited about your move as you are!  Prior to your moving in, we’re cleaning and making any necessary repairs.
Here are a few things you need to know about moving in:
  1. Early move-in requests will be addressed on a case by case basis.  If current tenants have vacated the premises and any required repairs are completed we will do our best to accommodate your request.  Rent will be paid on a pro-rata basis.
  2. You must have paid your entire first month’s rent in order to receive keys to your house.  If payment is not paid in full, you will not be permitted to move in.
  3. We must also have received all parental surety forms.
  4. After moving in, complete your Inventory Checklist and submit online within 24-hours of moving in.
  5. Please be sure to submit your Move In Repair List online, as well, if there are any repairs that need to be made.
You are responsible for all utilities.  Please transfer the gas and electric service into your names as soon you move-in.  Any delay in transferring these utilities will be taken from your security deposit.

​
When you’re moving in, please do NOT drive on the lawn – not even to unload furniture etc. The Mt. Pleasant Code Enforcement is very particular about lawn maintenance.  Please be courteous to your neighbors, as well, by keeping a clean and tidy yard.
Moving out
​As you transition to your new residence for the next year, here are a few things you need to know about moving out:
  1. Extension requests will be addressed on a case by case basis.  If the next tenants are not moving in right away we will do our best to accommodate your request. Rent will be paid on a pro-rata basis.
  2. It is very important that ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY be removed from your house when you vacate the premises.  We will remove any items that are left in the house after your move out date, and you will be charged for the cost of removal. The charge to remove a large item is $40.00 per item. Trash removal is $15.00 per bag. Removal of outdoor grills and appliances is $65.00.
  3. These are easy charges to avoid, just leave the house clean and empty and you won’t be charged to remove them. Don’t forget the attic, basement, garage, shed and yard. Rakes & shovels should be left at the house.
  4. All keys issued must be returned to our office. If you fail to return all keys, you may be responsible for the cost of changing the locks.
  5. Your security deposit refund, along with an itemization of charges, will be sent to you within 30 days of your termination of occupancy. However, there are certain procedures that you must follow. You must submit to us, IN WRITING, a forwarding address where you want the security deposit returned. This must be done within four (4) days of your termination of occupancy.
  6. The security deposit check will be issued to the one (1) person to whom you designated it to on your lease. That person is then responsible to disperse the appropriate funds to all tenants.
  7. Please don’t forget to cancel electric and gas service, phone and cable!
