Revision as of 00:54, 3 February 2017 by 24.216.219.239 (24.216.219.239)
Moving out? You'll want to send a letter to your apartment office to make everything official. This will ensure that you'll get a good recommendation in the future, and that you'll be more likely to get your security deposit back.
Steps
- Check your lease and see how much notice you agreed to provide. You might also find what your apartment management wants in the letter.
- Create a header. Use a semi-formal business format. The first part of the header should include the following information:
- First & Last Name(s) of all tenants on the lease
- Street Address and Apartment Number
- City, State, ZIP code
- The date, in [month date, four-digit year] format.
- Add your apartment manager's information beneath yours.
- Manager's name, plus title (probably "Manager")
- Business Name
- Business Address
- City, State, ZIP code
- Write the letter. Here's a template you can use to get started:
- Dear [Manager's name]:
According to the terms of our lease, we will vacate our apartment on [date]. We are not planning on leasing this unit or a different apartment unit from this complex, and will clean the apartment in accordance with the move-out cleaning instructions. We would appreciate the return of our security deposit within thirty (30) days after vacating our apartment, to be mailed to [new address]. We would like to thank you for your courtesy and services during the period of our lease.
Sincerely,
Your signature & The signature of your roommate(s)
Printed first & last name(s)
Handwritten date.
- Dear [Manager's name]:
- Keep a copy of the letter for your records.
- Mail the letter, or deliver it to your apartment manager's office.
Tips
- Be aware that, in most cases, you're required to provide 30 days notice. If you're planning on moving out in less than 30 days, discuss the circumstances with your apartment manager.
- Be sure to provide your forwarding address, so you can get your deposit back.
