LANDLORD GUIDE
This APOA guide is general community education for landlords. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Please check current state rules and seek qualified advice for your own situation.
The move-out process usually includes tenant notice, move-out instructions, cleaning, key return, exit inspection, comparison with the entry condition report, negotiation of damage or cleaning issues, and bond claim submission.
Tenants should usually provide written notice and disconnect utilities. Notice periods vary by state and circumstances.
Claims against bond should be supported by evidence such as entry and exit condition reports, photos, invoices, and written communication.
