I'm leaving my current apartment at the end of August. In the written notice to the Management Company, what info do I need to include? My lease will be expiring when I leave.
And, I do have a deposit. How does getting that back usually work? The apt is in prefect condition.
TIA

This is to notify you that I am giving you my 30 days notice of my planned date to vacate the apartment at the end of my lease. Only august 31st before 5pm I will return the keys to the management office. I would like to arrange a pre move out inspection with the building mnanager so he might point out any possible dmagaes that would result in aloss of my security deposit. Can we arrange for the walk through to be on August __ . This will give me adequate time to make repairs. Please contact m e at to arrange a time. Also so we can discuss when I should expect my securty deposit back.

Just let them know the date you will be vacating, and that's it.
My recommendation: Take photos the day you leave, and do the final walkthrough WITH the landlord before you hand the keys back...even if you have to take a 1/2 day off from work to do it.
There are too many landlords out there that just start making a list and deductions from your deposit. That way, you are BOTH in agreement, insist to getting a letter of clearance in writing before you leave...that way your apartment is totally secure at all times. Don't let them say, "They'll mail you a letter of clearance"...you can wait on the deposit refund...but the letter you need in your presence.
Remember you are not responsible for normal wear and tear such as carpet cleaning and BASIC painting. That is the "cost of doing business".

Just advise them that you will be moving when the lease expires and give them the date that you'll be out of the unit. You'll also need to include your forwarding address so that they will know where to send your deposit.
Ideally you should do a joint inspection with the landlord or their agent when you turn in the keys. They should annotate the inspection checklist with anything that is wrong. This will avoid any disagreements when it comes time to return your deposit.
The landlord generally has 30 days from move-out to submit an accounting of any deductions from your deposit and refund the difference.

You need to include your name, apartment number, the date that you intend to vacate, and your forwarding address (they will need this to send you a check to refund your security deposit).
Make sure your unit is clean and in good repair. After you move out the landlord (or someone working for the landlord) will inspect the unit. Depending on what state you are in they have between 1 week and 30 days to cut you a check for the security deposit.

Usually your landlord will send you a lease renewal form and you either fill it out or check the box to say you don't want it. But if that's not happening I would write a simple note saying you're not staying, but thank them for helping with maintenance issues, etc, and then definitely indicate a forwarding address, or address he can send the deposit to, or definitely do it at the company's office when you return your keys. They will look at the apartment after you've moved and in most states have 30days to return your deposit.

Your new address on where to send the security deposit, the date you are moving, the date of the notice.
