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.

Move-in Date & Inspection

We will schedule your official move-in data at the lease signing. A move-in inspection will be conducted prior to your move-in and we will provide you with a Move-In Condition report for you to complete within 5 days of moving in.  Please return the completed condition report to help@tysonprop.com.

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. For contact information and detailed instructions, please visit our Tenant Forms page and locate the Utility Forms.

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 Tyson Property Management rental.

Notice of Intent to Vacate

If you wish to leave your residence, you'll need to refer to the terms outlined in your lease. Certain fees may apply if you choose to break your lease. Please be sure to provide a 30 Day written notification of us 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: Your unit must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Please pay special attention to the kitchens and bathrooms, wiping countertops, cabinets, and appliances. You also need to vacuum carpeted areas, wash windows, and remove all refuse from the property. Any garbage left behind may result in an additional fee.  A professional Carpet Cleaner and a professional House Cleaner will be sent out following your move-out and the charges for these services will be deducted from your deposit.
  • 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, weeding flowerbeds, and replacing old lightbulbs.
  • Repairs: Please be sure to address any damage that has occurred during your stay. This includes removing nails and screws from walls, replacing lightbulbs, and removing any cable/satellite cords, where necessary. If your residence has substantial damage, repairs will be made by professional Vendors following your move-out and the charges will be deducted from your deposit.

Security Deposit

We will return the balance of your security deposit to you as quickly as possible. Please note, any fees, back rent, cleaning 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.
