Important Move Out Information

As you prepare for your upcoming transition, please review our move-out guidelines to ensure a smooth departure and a timely return of your security deposit. This essential move-out information outlines our cleaning standards, key return process, and property inspection requirements for residents in Corvallis, Albany, and Philomath. By following these clear steps, you help us maintain a high standard of property care while ensuring your moving process is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Security Deposit Returns

THE SECURITY DEPOSIT PROCESS

We will send out one single payment to the household within 31 days of your lease end date.

Faster Refunds:
To speed up the process, request the addendum to sign and provide your bank details for direct deposit.

Paper Checks:
If you prefer a check, it will be mailed via first-class mail to the forwarding address you provide.

Forwarding Address:
If you do not provide us with a forwarding address, we will send any future mail to the address you last rented from us and assume you have submitted a change of address with the US Postal Service.
Late Fees and Credit & Debit card Fees

MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS& PAINTING

Walls:
Remove all marks, but do not spackle nail holes or try to touch up paint. We use licensed contractors for this, and DIY spackling actually incurs an extra charge.

Blinds:
Clean all blinds thoroughly. Repairs or professional blind cleaning average $20 per blind.

Resident Related Damage:
We will reference the Move-in Documentation form to determine what is resident-related damage. Any repairs will be deducted from the security deposit at an average rate of $75 per hour.
