Frequently Asked Questions

In order to minimize charges against your security deposit, remember that according to your lease the condition in which you leave your unit must be the same as when you moved in.  To help you get your deposit refunded, we want you to be aware of the most common deductions.  These are listed below, but by no means is this a complete list:

·       Refuse costs for furniture or other household items not accepted by sanitation company

·       Carpets not professionally shampooed

·       Dirty or charred stove burner pans

·       Bathroom not clean

·       Mini or vertical blinds damaged
·       Damage to sheetrock

·       All keys not returned

·       Fire extinguisher

·       Light bulbs

·       Painting

·       General cleaning needed

Unless there is damage to the sheetrock, there is no deduction for nail holes in the walls.  Our preference is that you do not try to fill the holes.  The cost of any damages will be first deducted from your security deposit, but you are responsible for any damages that may exceed your deposit amount.  Our preference is for you to receive your entire deposit back so that your unit is ready to rent, but it is necessary to make deductions when we have to work to make it ready for the next tenant.
