Move-in Checklist
We’re excited to welcome you to your new home. Please use the checklist below as a guideline for a seamless introduction to your rental property:
First Month's Rent & Security Deposit
We require your first month’s rent and security deposit at the lease signing. Your security deposit will be held as collateral throughout the duration of your lease.
Move-in Date & Inspection
We will schedule your official move-in date at the lease signing. If necessary, an inspection will also be scheduled at this time. A new tenant has fifteen (15) days to list anything in need of repair or anything to note and report to our Mellon.Properties team for their file.
Rental Cleaning: Your unit must be in broom swept condition upon leaving. Please pay special attention to the kitchens and bathrooms, wiping down countertops, cabinets, and appliances. All light bulbs must be replaced. You also need to remove all refuse from the property. Any garbage left behind may result in an additional fee.
Repairs: Please be sure to address any damage that has occurred during your stay with our Mellon.Properties team prior to moving out. All repairs need to be submitted to our team and we will coordinate with the relevant contractors.
Remember, you cannot use your deposit as your final month’s rent. If you fail to pay rent for the last month of your stay, your delinquency will be reported to the appropriate credit bureaus and legal action can be pursued per the lease agreement.
Move-in Checklist
All good things must come to an end. While we’re sad to see you go, this move-out checklist should prove useful as you prepare to leave your Mellon.Properties rental.
Notice of Intent to Vacate
If you wish to leave your residence, you’ll need to refer to the terms outlined in your lease. Certain fees may apply if you choose to break your lease. Please be sure to provide written notification of us your intent to vacate the premises, respecting the timeline in your lease.
Property Condition
You are responsible for returning your property to rent-ready condition. This includes addressing the following elements:
Landscaping & Outdoor Areas: If applicable, you must also return your outdoor living space to its original condition. Please ensure you’ve addressed all landscaping responsibilities, including mowing the lawn, weeding flowerbeds, and replacing old lightbulbs.
Security Deposit
You are responsible for returning your property to broom swept condition. After you’ve vacated the property, an inspection has been performed and all necessary repairs have been made, you’ll receive the return of your security deposit less any charges per your lease agreement.
