Security deposits are security against the owner sustaining a loss due to damage, unpaid rent, etc. by the tenant(s). We document the condition of the property with an inspection program prior to your move in which allows us to take unlimited pictures of the property prior to move in. This protects you as well as the owner. We much prefer to refund your entire security deposit. So as soon as we receive written word from you of your impending move we will send a Move Out list documenting what things should be done to get a maximum refund of your security deposit.
