Moving Guidelines
Moving In
- Your first month's rent and security deposit must be paid to DM Property Management due at or before lease is signed. Post-dated cheques for future rent are preferred. Please include address on memo line of cheque to keep accounting straight.
- Rent is due on the 1st of the month. Charges apply to rent that is paid on or after the 2nd of the month. If rent is not paid by the 3rd, a 10-day eviction notice will be served and you must vacate premises if rent is not paid within 5 days of receiving served notice.
- Please contact your property manager at ______________ for all matters due to your tenancy. All maintenance requests must be in writing using this form. [LINK to maintenance request form]
- When you move out, you must provide a written Notice to Vacate at least 30 days in advance. Please note, however, that you will be responsible for the terms of your Lease should you decide to vacate before Lease expiration. We do not allow early termination of Leases until a qualified replacement party is found at the expense of the out-going resident.
Moving Out
Once we receive your 30-day notice to vacate your rental property, the following checklist serves as a helpful reminder of what you need to do prior to your departure:
- The premises should be clean and in "ready to rent" condition for new tenants, with the only discrepancies being that which is stated on your check-in sheet. General cleaning, carpet cleaning and touch-up painting are routine deductions from your security deposit, unless otherwise noted in your lease.
- Please notify your property manager of your forwarding address so your security deposit can be mailed to you.
- Your final security deposit disposition will not be determined and the unit is not considered vacated until all keys are returned to our office and all of your possessions are removed from the premises. Please refer to your lease section on Security Deposit for any questions you may have. The disposition will be mailed to you within 14 days after you vacate.
- Prior to your departure it may be necessary for us to briefly show the premises to a prospective renter. If so, we will call you or leave 24-hour notice before doing so.
- Your possession of the rental property is relinquished the day we receive keys in our office. We will expect keys no later than stated move out date.
