TENANT MOVE – OUT INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for honoring your rental contract by giving your Notice to Vacate in writing, in accordance with your Rental Agreement.

In an effort to assist you in receiving a full return of your refundable security deposit after vacating, we’ve compiled this checklist for your use in preparing the home. Once you’ve completed your cleaning requirements, please return your keys to the office at

1226 W South Jordan Parkway, Suite D South Jordan Utah 84095.

We’re rarely in the office, so be sure to call us at 801-701-8033 or email service@utahpropertysolutions.com to let us know when the keys have been dropped off. Keys must be returned before 5:00 p.m. on the last day of your lease. If your lease is terminating on a weekend, we have an after-hours drop box for your use. Keys must be labeled with a portion of the address or your name.  You must also have to submit or deliver a copy of your paid carpet cleaning invoice as required by your lease packet.

To avoid misunderstandings in connection with your departure, we thought we would go over a few basic policies. Please remember that the security deposit cannot be used toward your rent. We will return your deposit after all late fees, change fees, utilities, returned check fees, or any other balance(s) due have been paid. Also, the dwelling must be left clean and undamaged, normal wear and tear accepted. Normal wear and tear is defined as deterioration that occurs without negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse. You were emailed a copy of your move in inspection report, if you do not have a copy for your reference, please let us know and we’ll send you another copy.

Move-out inspections of properties are performed at various times throughout the week and can only be done after you have returned all keys to the office. Once the inspection is completed, you will be emailed a copy of it. If you do not receive a copy, please contact the office. Inspections are typically completed within 3 business days of receiving the keys. Utah law allows for 30-days from receipt of all the keys to reconcile your security deposit and complete the disposition.

We have attached a cleaning checklist, which will give you some guidelines for the final cleaning. These are just guidelines so please be thorough when cleaning your home. If the agent discovers repairs, maintenance, or necessary cleaning at the move-out inspection, the appropriate company or vendors will be asked to quickly correct tenant deficiencies.

Below is a list of items that may be used as a guide for cleaning the property when vacating. Again, this is just a guideline and more or less may be needed for your particular home.
