Moving Out

LEASE TERMINATION: 

Resident is required to give the Landlord in writing a notice two month (60 days) in advance of his/her moving. This is required even if lease is expiring or has expired and is now month-to-month.  

• • Notice must be given by the first day of a month. If notice is given after the first day of the month, the two month (60 day) notice will not start until the following month. (The notice must be two full calendar months starting on the first day of a month.)   

  • Please allow an additional day in your move schedule for an inspection and possible additional cleaning.   A virtual inspection will be required the day before your last lease day.   The last lease day is to be reserved for any additional cleaning required by CPC.   (i.e If Move out day is March 31,  Inspection is by March 30.  March 31 reserved for CPC for any additional cleaning. ) 

  • Any breakage of lease also requires penalty of one month’s rent to cover marketing and turnover charges.  Resident is also responsible for the rent until the property is leased out. 

UTILITY TRANSFER: 

• ** Please do NOT turn off Utilities before your lease ends as utilities may be needed for final cleanings and repairs! **  Utilities Contacts

• Utilities should be turned off on the day AFTER your lease ends to ensure full utilities on the final day.   (i.e If Move out day is March 31,  Inspection is by March 30.  March 31 reserved for CPC for any additional cleaning.  Utilities should be scheduled to turn off April 1. )
