We require a 5-day notice when customers are ready to vacate. Once we are notified of that move out date, we will schedule that in our system and send you move out instructions. Following the move out instructions results in customers sending us an image of the cleaned out unit, and that is how we will process your move out. If we do not receive an image of the cleaned out unit by the scheduled move out date, we will not have a way to confirm the move out, so the move out confirmation will be delayed.

When you are ready to vacate, please follow these instructions:

-Remove lock & key from the unit.

-Sweep out the unit after vacating.

-Place lock & key on the inside of the cleaned unit.

-Take a picture of the cleaned unit, with the unit number showing.

-Send us the pictures of the cleaned-out unit, and we will process your move out ASAP.
