Move out mandatory requirements
30 day written notice
Provide Westshore Property Management with a 30-day written notice. The day you give the notice is the day the 30 days will begin. You can give your notice any day of the month. For example, if you give your notice on June 16th 2015, your last day at the property would be July 15th 2015.
forwarding address
At some point during that 30 days leading up to vacancy, provide Westshore Property Management with a forwarding address and contact Westshore if you have questions about a pro-rated amount of rent.
inspection
Westshore Property Management will provide you with an inspection form that will give you an option to have a pre-inspection done with one of our agents. The purpose of this inspection is for the agent to review with you the definition of cleanliness and for Westshore to make a list of items that still need to be done in order for you to receive the maximum amount back from your security deposit.
security deposit
Upon vacating the property, you need to return all keys and any remotes (if applicable). Westshore has 30 days to return the security deposit. If the forwarding address is not provided this will hold up the return of your security deposit. The security deposit will be mailed to you. We do not allow tenants to come by the office to pick up their check.
POLICIES ON QUALIFIYING APPLICANTS
Westshore Property Management has a few policies that you should keep in mind before we accept your application.
- You must schedule an appointment with one of our agents to see the inside of the property.
- All deposit funds and first month's rent must be in certified funds. (Cashiers check, money order or cash)
- Rent is always due on the 1st of the month. It is late after the 5th.
