2. Transfer Utilities
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY & FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
*ALL Utilities MUST REMAIN CONNECTED for a MINIMUM of (5) Five Days POST-Lease End Date*
By Law, 247 Property Management MUST complete a Move-Out Inspection within several days of move-out. A proper inspection cannot be performed without the utilities on. If you have disconnected the utilities before the inspection, you are agreeing that both your lease term and the inspection time frame called for by Georgia law are being extended for the time it takes for Management to get the utilities re-activated.
Failure to Comply will result in the following:
- a $145.00 Fee is charged if ALL Utilities are NOT ON when our inspectors arrive at the property to conduct the Move-Out Inspection
- a $25.00 Utility Connection Fee PER Utility Provider will also be charged
3. Prepare Home for Move-Out
In order to receive back your full deposit, your property must be returned to the condition in which it was received at move-in. We suggest using your move-in inspection as a reference point, it can be easily accessed through your portal account. If you are unable to access/ view the inspection, please contact your property manager.
Paint Condition
During the move-out inspection, 3rd Party Home Inspectors check for any holes in the walls, extensive black markings, chips in paint, or any other miscellaneous damages that go beyond the scope of what is considered normal wear and tear.
Personal Items
All personal items must be removed from the unit. This means everything — including cleaning products, plungers, shower curtains, etc. None of these items are left for future residents. They will be discarded and you will be charged for the removal.
Light Bulbs, Batteries, & Smoke Detectors
At the time of the move-out inspection, all light bulbs and batteries MUST be working. Replace any non-functional bulbs or batteries upon vacating. Otherwise, you will be charged for the replacement.
Property & Carpet Cleanliness
The property and carpets MUST be professionally cleaned by approved vendors of 247 Property Management. Additionally, receipts MUST be provided upon move-out. Otherwise we will have to have the items re-cleaned and the amount will be retained from the deposit.
