Move-out and turnover checklist

Notice received to the next lease signed, built to cut vacant days and keep you inside the deposit deadline.

Every vacant day costs the owner a day of rent, and in many states the deposit return clock starts when the tenant hands back possession. In some states, missing the deadline forfeits the right to keep any of the deposit and adds penalties. Check your state page. Start marketing before the unit is empty.

Workflow software can create the tasks in a checklist like this, assign them and set due dates from the lease. Walk through what that would look like for your company with Julian.
