Prior to move-out

• EMAIL Peace Realty your forwarding address and phone number to Lorraine@peacerealtylv.com. One check will be issued for any security deposit refund within 30 days from the date Peace Realty received keys/remotes. 
• The check will be made out to all tenants named on the lease. It is the tenants’ responsibility to work out the details of distribution. Peace Realty will conduct a move-out inspection and note any necessary tenant-required repairs. These repairs will be deducted from your security deposit minus normal and customary wear and tear. 
• Move-out inspection will be performed by Peace Realty's maintenance company. It is highly recommended that you take pictures of each room prior to move-out for your records.
•  Tenants are required to keep all utilities on up to four BUSINESS days post-move-out in order for Peace Realty to complete a move-out inspection. If utilities are turned off, tenants will be charged a $100.00 connection fee for each utility that is not on at the time of inspection. Keep in mind this may delay the move-out inspection date. The $100.00 fee will be deducted from the security deposit. 
• Attend landscaping; final upkeep includes mowing, weeding, and raking the yard. If you were paying a monthly landscape fee, normal landscape clean up is not required. You are responsible for trimming all LARGE trees/bushes/Palm trees prior to move-out and send the paid receipt to Peace Realty
• Leave keys and remotes in the home.  We will be installing a lock box on the unit, as we get closer to the move out date, let me know when you are ready to hand over keys and I will give you a code to install 1 key in the lock box. Please leave the extra keys/remotes in a kitchen drawer.
