MOVING OUT INSTRUCTIONS
The Tenant MUST schedule with Property Manager for elevator Reservation Time and Move-Out Inspection.
Do NOT make your moving plans and notify management later; as the elevator may not be available during peak times. All permits from the City of Charleston for Loading Zone apply as in Move-In instructions. Please be careful to select professional movers; any damage to the corridors, elevators, or exterior of the building from the movers will be your responsibility and deducted from your security deposit.

For a Loading Zone Permit for more than 2 hours, call City of Charleston Traffic & Transportation, 843- 724-7368. Less than 2 hours, see us for a windshield sign.
