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.

Utilities

All utilities must be placed in your name. To prevent a potential outage, be sure to place accounts under your name as quickly as possible. We recommend calling the utility companies five days before taking occupancy.

Move-in Date & Inspection

We will schedule your official move-in date and provide all necessary information at your lease signing.

Move-out 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 Caldwell Property Management rental.

Notice of Intent to Vacate

Please be sure to provide written notification to us of 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:

  • Rental Cleaning: our unit must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized including countertops, cabinets, drawers, shelves, appliances inside and out, sinks, mirrors, medicine cabinets, toilets, showers, flooring, baseboards, blinds, windows, light fixtures and air vents. You also need to vacuum and professionally shampoo carpeted areas, and remove all refuse from the property.
  • Landscaping & Outdoor Areas: You must also return your outdoor living space to its original condition. Please ensure you've addressed all landscaping responsibilities, including mowing the lawn, trimming tree’s/shrubs and removing weeds.
  • Repairs: Please be sure to address any damage that has occurred during your stay. This includes patching holes left from nails and screws, replacing lightbulbs, replacing the air filter and painting where necessary. If your residence has substantial damage, contact our offices for assistance.
Security Deposit

We will return your security deposit to you as quickly as possible. Please note, any fees, back rent, and repair costs will be deducted from the security deposit.

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. We may also pursue legal action for back rent owed.
