Move Out Checklist
Life’s journey is constantly changing and we understand that you have decided to continue yours while living somewhere new! It has been our pleasure having you as a tenant. Now that your lease is coming to a close and we know you have intentions of moving out, we want to provide you with a move out checklist. We hope you find the list useful in avoiding or minimizing charges that will be taken out of your security deposit refund. The inspection will be performed at noon on your last day of occupancy according to the signed lease agreement.
LuxOasis Living may be entitled to deduct any charges from your security deposit to perform any cleaning responsibilities you leave incomplete upon moving out. Normal wear and tear to a property is acceptable but leaving it in a dirty condition for the next tenant is not. You will also be charged for any expenses that LuxOasis Living incurs to repair any damages you were responsible for during your tenancy.
