We want to help you receive your entire security deposit refund. Please take time now to review the following suggestions.

last possible time for you to complete your cleaning. If you finish early, please contact your manager
to complete your move-out inspection.

cleaning solution. Remove all nails, hooks, etc. from the walls. It is not necessaty to fill the nail holes.
We will do that.

We DO NOT wish to keep any portion of your Security Deposit. To avoid this, please take the time to clean your
unit and return it to the condition it was when you moved in. If you have questions, please contact us for
solution suggestions. We are happy to do a preliminary inspection to help you insure a full refund. Please call
us early to schedule the pre-inspection.
If you are paying for any utilities, contact the appropriate utility companies to give them your forwarding
address and schedule the final reading of your meter.
Notify the Post Office of your forwarding address, as we do not forward mail.
Please turn in all keys for the apartment, mailbox, garage, and storage locker at the time of your move-out
inspection.
Charges for damages that did not exist at the time you moved-in and/or charges for cleaning not completed in
accordance with the above will be assessed against your deposit. A letter explaining the disposition of your
deposit will be mailed to you within 21 days of you move-out in accordance with Minnesota law.
Thank you for your cooperation.
