Essentials for move out day
Hi again everyone,
I have a tenant moving out in a few days and wanted to make sure I got all the essentials for move out day down. I will be there physically to collect the keys. Please let me know if there is anything I should add here:
1) Change utilities in my name (a few days before)
2) Recover keys from tenant, and change all the locks in the house
3) Check all fire safety equipment
4) Shut off water main and gas main valve, to prepare for vacancy, till next tenant
5) Go over move out checklist with tenant for any damage
6) Install Simplisafe and motion detection lights for vacancy security
7) Identify repairs to be completed before next move in and to be completed during vacancy.
8) Sign form indicating tenant is ending their tenancy and get address to mail their security deposit
9) Take photos for posting of listing, if the condition is acceptable.
Anything else I should put in my list, to maximize the efficiency of my time on the day of move out.
