Move-Out Manager

When a tenant gives notice β€” or you give notice to them β€” the Move-Out Manager keeps every step organized from day one through final deposit return. The 18-step checklist covers notice documentation, final inspections, side-by-side condition comparisons, itemized security deposit deductions, and tenant rating. Everything is saved to the tenant’s permanent record.

The four phases: Notice and timeline (document notice, confirm dates, collect final rent), property condition (inspection, photos, damage documentation, meter readings), security deposit (itemized deductions, mailing statement, returning balance), and close out (rate the tenant, add final notes, optionally submit a peer review to help other landlords, and archive the tenant record).

You must be logged in to manage move-outs.

The Complete Move-Out Playbook

A tenant leaving doesn’t have to mean chaos. Whether it’s a planned departure or an unexpected notice, the Move-Out Manager keeps the process organized from the first conversation to the final deposit return. The 18-step checklist covers every legal and practical step so nothing gets missed β€” and you’re protected if there’s a dispute.

Phase 1: Notice β€” document the notice, confirm the move-out date, collect final rent. Phase 2: Condition β€” schedule and complete the final inspection, photograph everything, compare to move-in condition, document damages, record final meter readings. Phase 3: Deposit β€” itemize deductions, mail the statement (most states require this within 14–30 days), return the balance. Phase 4: Close Out β€” rate the tenant, add final notes, optionally submit a peer review, and archive the record.

The side-by-side move-in vs move-out comparison is your best defense against deposit disputes. Combined with the photos and inspection notes you captured during the Move-In Manager, you’ll have a complete paper trail. When the checklist is marked complete, the tenant is automatically archived in your Tenant Hub and any active assignments are ended.
