Move out info

Please see your lease agreement for your specific move-out date. All keys, including door, mailbox, and electronic keys also all parking permits must be returned to the office by noon the day that your lease expires. Please put all keys in an envelope labeled with the address the keys are for and a forwarding address if you have not already turned that information in to the office. Exception-All keys to bedroom doors must be left in the lock they belong to, in the apartment/house. Missing door keys are $25, mailbox keys $15, and electronic keys are $100 per key. All apartments/houses with multiple roommates must turn all keys in at the same time, we do not accept individual keys early. Any late keys will be assumed lost and the appropriate amount deducted from the security deposit, we will not give refunds or credit for keys turned in after the lease expiration After you have moved out and returned your keys we will inspect the unit for cleanliness and damages. We do not schedule walk-throughs of any apartments.

The following are some guidelines for cleaning:

Clean refrigerators and stoves thoroughly inside and outside. Unplug and pull the appliances away from the wall and clean underneath and behind. Place the cord of the refrigerator in the refrigerator door so the refrigerator cannot close. Make sure you clean under the burners of the stove tops.
Wash all walls to remove any spills, scuffs and black marks. If you put up curtains, we recommend that you leave the curtain rod on the wall in order to avoid leaving damage above the windows. DO NOT SPACKLE ANY HOLES. You will be charged for any painting that is necessitated by spackling!
Tend to any spills, stains, or soiled areas on the carpet. We recommend that you do not attempt to clean the carpets yourself with a rented carpet cleaner as they are usually ineffective. If you are concerned about stains on the carpet and would like to get them cleaned prior to moving out, you may call Rite Rug at 614-573-4276 or any other professional carpet cleaner.
Clean all surfaces of the entire apartment including baseboards and the inside and outside of all cabinets.
Mop floors, vacuum, and take down any pictures or posters.
Do not leave ANY personal items/furniture in the apartment that has not been approved by management. You will be charged a disposal fee for any trash/furniture that we have to remove.

Failure to clean your unit appropriately may result in cleaning, painting or carpet cleaning charges deducted from your security deposit.

Finally, you must terminate all utilities in your unit, including phone and cable (Studio apartments need to terminate phone and cable ONLY. DO NOT contact the electric or gas company). When doing so, please make sure that it is terminated no later than the actual date that your lease expires.

Your security deposit minus any deductions, will be returned to the forwarding address provided within 30 days after the expiration of your lease.

Thank you for your residency and good luck!

Can I schedule a walk-through of my apartment prior to moving out?
No, unfortunately we are unable to schedule walk-throughs due to the number of people moving out at one time. You will receive a detailed list of any items deducted from your deposit. If you have any questions regarding any charges feel free to call the office
Can I turn my keys in early?
Yes, you can turn your keys in early, however you are still responsible for rent and or utilities until the end of your lease.
If I am moving out of my apartment/house but my roommates are not how do I get my portion of the security deposit back?
Roommate changes and the refund of those deposits is handled on an individual basis, please contact the office for more information.
What do I do with bulk items such as furniture that I no longer want?
Please do not throw these items in the dumpster or leave them in/around your apartment/house. There is typically a bulk pick-up sponsered by Campus Partners, we will forward that information and post to the website as soon as we receive it.
