well it's been nice but I'm bad ahead
out is a great way to excuse yourself
from a lot of things however it's not
the best way to move out of your
apartment so if you want to avoid any
legal consequences or burning bridges
with your property manager or your
landlord you're gonna have to write
stuff you're gonna need a move out
notice for your landlord ahead of time
this will ensure that your move or
transition will be seamless you can get
your security deposit back and avoid any
bad referrals however not everyone's a
word Smith so this is smart lands guide
to writing a move-out notice and we're a
property manager so we know this stuff
where to start
the first thing you need to do is go
back over your rental or your lease
agreement different apartments or
rentals will require different things of
you some may want a 30-day notice others
may need less or more also you need to
be sure of any fees restrictions or even
a specific type of notice that they want
from you do you need to write it out on
paper will an email suffice these things
will all be outlined in the terms of
your lease write your notice now most
places are going to require you to have
an actual physical document so you're
going to have to type it out unless
you're a professional calligrapher you
really should avoid handwriting these so
there's less of a chance for someone to
miss read it now this doesn't have to be
fancy or Shakespearean but it does need
to hit a few bases so here's the basic
setup date
the attention of your landlord or
property manager this is the body of the
letter number of days required move out
date your reasons for moving out your
new address your name and signature
special delivery after you have your
finally written finish letter to your
landlord you're gonna have to deliver it
if it's acceptable you can't email it
but most places are definitely going to
require a physical document for their
records if that's the case you can
either mail it in to your property
manager or you can turn it in directly
to the leasing office if you live in an
apartment and the office is located on
your property either way you're going to
want to make sure that the right people
are getting it you're not gonna want to
just drop it off somewhere because you
really want the proper people to have it
in hand keep those receipts if you
follow this format you should have a
smooth move out however you end up
sending your notice to your landlords or
property managers make sure you get some
kind of proof or receipt that you did so
this is just a wise precaution to use
whenever dealing with important
documents and now you're ready to move
out and move on following these steps
should help ensure that your move out
goes smooth you can get your security
deposit refunded and avoid any legal or
financial problems with your landlord or
property manager it's another way to not
just live but live well
