What Does My Lease Say About The Move Out Inspection?

1.7 Damage Inspection After Termination:

Within three (3) Business days after the date of termination of occupancy, Management will inspect the Premises and compile a comprehensive list of any damages done to the Premises during Resident’s occupancy which list shall be signed by Management.  Resident agrees to keep all utilities on, including electric, gas and water, from date of occupancy through the date of the move-out inspection. If any utility is off at the time of the move-out inspection Resident agrees to pay Management a $150.00(utility restoration fee) as well as all costs incurred by Management to restore/reconnect the utilities. If the Resident disputes the list, he shall have five (5) business days from the date of termination of occupancy to state specifically in writing items on the list to which he dissents and to deliver such list of dissentions to Management. If Resident fails to provide such a list of dissentions or fails to provide such a list in a timely fashion pursuant to the time frames contained in this paragraph, the list as compiled by the Management shall be deemed accurate, true and correct and comprehensive by the Resident. If the Resident terminates occupancy without notifying Management, Management may make said move-out inspection within a reasonable time after discovering the termination of occupancy.  In the event Management elects to retain any part of the Security Deposit, Management shall provide Resident with a written statement setting forth the reasons for the retention of any portion of the Security Deposit within thirty (30) days of the Move-Out Inspection, and shall include with such statement any portion to be refunded.
