Move-out Requirements and Cleaning Checklist

To help you get your full security deposit back, here is a list of things to take care of:

  • WRITTEN NOTICE: If you haven’t given your 30 day written notice, please do so via your tenant portal or by emailing support@jacobgrant.com.
  • REPAIR AND REPLACE: Perform or arrange repairs and replace items that are on the attached “Move Out Checklist”. (Anything not repaired or replaced may result in a charge.)
  • CLEAN: complete every line item on the attached “Cleaning Checklist” as you clean.
  • FORWARDING ADDRESS: Provide a forwarding address where we can mail your deposit return. We will send your deposit return to your forwarding address within 30 days of receiving your keys. Submit the address through your tenant portal or by emailing support@jacobgrant.com.
  • UTILITIES: Have the utilities taken out of your name and put into the name of Jacob Grant PM effective the day after your move out date. Unless this is an early termination then you are responsible until the unit is re-rented.
  • KEYS: Once you are out and done, RETURN keys and a signed cleaning checklist to your nearest Jacob Grant Office (leave garage door openers in a kitchen drawer). If keys are not returned to our office on or before your move out date you will be charged rent for the additional days and a $50 non-returned key fee.

Move Out Before End of Lease Term

Situations often change and plans must be changed. Jacob Grant has options prepared so you can reduce the expense of breaking your lease and moving out early. Learn more >>. Download our Early Move Out Options here.

Security Deposit Return

Getting your security deposit refund begins at the beginning of your lease. All terms of the lease must be followed including giving at least 30 days of written notice. Here are some more helpful hints:

  • Give yourself plenty of time to move.
  • Give yourself plenty of time to clean. Moving is stressful. Thought of hiring someone to clean when you are moved? Hiring and organizing your own housekeeper can save you $$$.
  • Read your lease to remind you of all hourly cleaning and repair rates.
