Your move out day is fast approaching!  If you will be moving out before the last day of the month, please notify us as soon as possible.  The first of the month is a very busy time and it would be greatly appreciated if you could inform us of your departure plans.

Your security deposit is held at the Rentalsman’s office located at Service NB.  You will have to complete a form called Security Deposit Return to request your security refund from the Rentalsman.

We hope that when you moved into the apartment you completed your move-in inspection report and returned it to the office.  When you move out we will complete an out-going inspection report and compare it to your move in inspection report.  If you would like to be present for the outgoing inspection, please call us and make an appointment prior to the first of the month.  You must however have all your belongings completely moved out of the apartment and all cleaning completed.  The appointment must also fall during our regular office hours.

Your lease stated that painting and crack filling of any kind is not permitted in the apartment. If you chose to ignore our rules and regulations you will be charged to have the paint color returned to our original off white color.  Please see the charge chart on the bottom of this page.

After the outgoing inspection has been completed, the report is processed by our office and it will be determined if a claim against your security deposit will be made and submitted to the Rentaslman’s office. (This can take up to 7 days). The items below are what are taken into consideration when a claim is made.

  1.  Any outstanding rent or charges to your account
  2.  Any penalties for breaking your lease
  3.  Any damages that are found and not marked on your move – in inspection report
  4. Any cleaning that must be completed prior to the new tenant moving in (see below)
  5. Any painting necessary due to marks, holes and scuffs on walls (small nail holes from pictures are considered normal wear & tear.  Please do not crack fill or paint!)

We take pride in our apartments being clean for all new tenants moving in and therefore will charge the vacating tenant  if any of these areas are not cleaned. (Please note, normal wear and tear is taken into consideration.)

Also, please remember to take your internet modem and cable box with you as we are not responsible for these items once you have vacated the apartment.
