Move Out Check List / Price List

It is clearly cheaper for you to dispose of your own trash and personal items, do the repairs that are your responsibility and to be sure normal wear is the extent of the cleaning and damages that you leave behind. However, if you choose not to do the work, or if time will not allow for you to do it, the charges listed below are what you can expect to pay if TAG does it for you. These charges can and will be deducted from your deposit. At the time you moved in, you were given a "Move-In Inspection Report" to fill out and return to our office. If you did so, that report will be used when inspecting the property and will help us to determine the items that are your financial responsibility. Be sure you call the office and schedule a time to sign your Move Out Sheet and return your keys and garage door openers. If you have any questions, please refer to your lease before calling. If you still have questions, please call the office during regular office hours.
PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND VARY BY PROPERTY. You will be provided copies of invoices itemizing your deductions along with the remainder of your deposit due within 30 days of move-out.
