Re: Final
Instructions
Dear Jean and John,
It has been a pleasure having you
as tenants for the past XX years. I hope you had an enjoyable stay here and
wish you much luck in your future endeavors.
Most tenants have a lot of
questions with respect to moving out and I want to make sure your transition
out is successful. The following are
the final instructions that you need to follow. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me
at (612) 328-4545.
You are scheduled to move out of
the rental property on 03/31/2008. I may have other tenants moving in the next
day and will need time to have the property professionally cleaned, so please
make sure you are completely moved out by 12:00 PM. Do not wait until the last minute. It will take longer than you think to move!
You are responsible for payment of
the rent on the entire premise until possession of the premise, not just your
room, is returned to me. You are
required to move out on or before the move out date and must complete all
payments due along with return the keys to me.
If you are sharing the property with other tenants, you are equally
responsible for the proper surrender of the rental and payment of all
bills.
Keys:
All keys need to be returned to us immediately upon your vacating the premise.
Documents:
All
documents that had been provided to you, must be returned to us immediately
upon your vacating the premise: by-laws and rules and regulation of the
Association + any user manuals for the appliances.
Cleaning:
I expect the premise to be left
empty and clean. There should not be any personal property in the premise. This includes food in the kitchen,
furniture, clothes, mattresses, books or anything else. Floors must be swept or vacuumed and the
stove, refrigerator dishwasher and bathrooms must be thoroughly cleaned. Please make sure you check all rooms,
closets and cabinets for your belongings.
Failure to properly clean the property will result in deductions from
your security deposit.
Garbage:
Do not leave unwanted things or
trash on the property or piled around the trash cans. Anything that cannot be
put into the trash can with the lid closed must be removed by you. If you have large items to dispose of such
as furniture, you must call the city to inform them before you put it on the
curb. You will still be held
responsible for all city violations for any garbage that is improperly stored.
You will be charged for any
damages that occurred during your use of the property. Sometimes, it is more costly for us to have
repairs made than it would cost you to complete it. To limit deductions from your deposit, make sure you replace all
light bulbs that do not work, install batteries in smoke detectors, have any
broken windows professionally repaired and do a complete and thorough cleaning
of the entire property.
Storage:
There will be no storage of
personal property allowed. You must
remove all of your belonging from the property immediately upon vacating. Anything left behind will be considered
abandoned and immediately discarded. If
this occurs, you may be charged for having this item discarded. Please make sure the premise is vacant
after your move out date. If you made
arrangements with the new tenants to leave furniture, you must notify us ahead
of time or it will be discarded.
If
you have any unpaid bills due to rent shortage, utilities or other charges,
they will be deducted from your security deposit. Should the amount of your unpaid bills exceed the amount of the
deposit, you are still responsible for the entire amount. You must pay any shortage immediately.
Security Deposit Refund:
Your deposit will be available
with 21 business days after you vacate the property and return the keys to
me. Only after you have completely
vacated the property will a damage and cleaning assessment be completed. Your deposit will be returned in full minus
any unpaid bills, and charges for damage or cleaning.
A single check will be made
payable to the one individual who paid the damage deposit when you took
possession of the property unless I am provided written instructions ahead of
time.
Thank you
for your assistance in this matter.
Should
you need more information, please feel free to contact me at 612 328-4545
(cell.), 651 765-1851 (fax) or at twin-cities-condos@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Alain
Berthelot.
