The Tenant agrees to have all personal possessions removed from the property, leave the property completely vacant, clean, secured all doors and windows, and will leave the keys on the kitchen counter in the locked & secured property on ___________________ (Scheduled Move Out Date).
Personal Property Law: State law permits former Tenants to reclaim abandoned personal property left at the former address of the Tenant, subject to certain conditions. You may or may not be able to reclaim property without incurring additional costs, depending on the cost of storing the property and the length of time before it is reclaimed. In general, these costs will be lower the sooner you contact your former Landlord after being notified that property belonging to you was left behind after you moved out. (Civil Code Section 1950.5(f)(1))
Personal Property Waiver: Tenant agrees to waive any further rights or claims to personal property left on premises after vacating the premises. Tenant understands and agrees that possessions of any value that are abandoned on the premises will be disposed of at the discretion of Landlord or Rentor (Owner’s Agent).

Move Out Instructions
The following information lists the instructions to assist you in the move out process. We know you will have a lot to keep track of during this transition. We hope this will make it clear and organized for you.
If you do have any questions, please email us at Support@Rentor.com or call us at 707.444.3835.
We consider you as still in possession of the unit until you have vacated the unit and the property is secure with windows, garage, and doors are locked. Rent will be charged until you surrender possession of the keys and the property is secure. You can surrender possession by leaving the keys on the kitchen counter, vacating the secured property, and notifying us that you have moved out. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RE-ENTER THE PROPERTY AFTER YOU HAVE RELEASED POSSESSION.
If you vacate the property prior to the end of the lease term, you will still be responsible for the rent during the remaining term of the lease or until a new tenant rents the unit. However, we will do our best to try and lease the property. You are expected to return the property in the same condition as received excepting normal wear and tear, or improvements.
To assist us, please complete the following:
- Cleaning:
- Have the property cleaned throughout the interior and the exterior.
- This also includes, but is not limited to: flooring, windows insides & out, window sills & door casings, mini-blinds or window treatments, wiping out drawers & shelves appliances, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, vanities, light fixtures, fireplaces, removal of cobwebs inside & out, etc.
- A dirty property is not normal wear and tear.
- Professional Carpet Cleaning:
- Only work performed by a licensed carpet cleaning professional is accepted. Do not rent machines from a store, use home cleaning machines, or employ chemical cleaning for the carpet yourself. If you wish, please contact Rentor for a referral to a vendor we regularly use. If you hire another carpet cleaner, you must ensure that vendor will guarantee their work to the satisfaction of Rentor. Should the carpets cleaning not meet acceptable standards we may choose to have them re-cleaned at your expense. If applicable, you are to leave a receipt with the keys showing you had the carpets professionally cleaned.
- Please note: Rentor will not reimburse for any carpet cleaning you do yourself, it is stated in your contract that the carpets must be professionally cleaned.
- Draperies:
- Vacuum draperies. Do not wash draperies unless you were specifically instructed to do so.
- You are not expected to dry clean draperies unless:
- You have caused excessive soil or allowed water damage from open windows.
- You have not kept them in good condition.
- Replace:
- Smoke detector or CO detector batteries, missing or burned out light bulbs, clean or replace filters.
- If the above items are missing or not working, there is a charge for them to be replaced.
- Replace missing items prior to vacating the property.
- Pest Control:
- If you have a pet, you must properly use adequate “Insect Foggers” or a comparable pest control device and clean up the fogger cans. Please follow manufacturer guidelines. If the foggers are not successful you will be charged an extermination fee. Please see the Pet Addendum in your contract for additional information.
- If you do not have a pet, you do not need to use foggers unless you have not been exercising some form of insect control. If you return the property with excessive ants, spiders, cobwebs, etc., due to your failure to maintain sanitary housekeeping standards, you may be responsible for additional charges.
- Landscape:
- Any outside areas are to be neatly mowed, trimmed, pruned, and watered as stated in your Lease or Rental Agreement.
- Remove all trash, debris from premises, vehicle fluids such as oil or grease from garages and parking areas.
- Pick up and remove any animal droppings whether you have an animal or not.
- Trash:
- If you have trash that exceeds the normal pickup, you are to arrange and pay for hauling.
- Place all other trash in the proper trash receptacles and arrange for curb pickup on the correct trash day.
- Painting:
- We request that you do not putty, spackle, or touch up paint.
- If you paint and it doesn’t match existing paint or improperly patch the walls or ceilings, any necessary correction charges will be your responsibility.
- Painting and prep charges depend on the damage that exceeds normal wear and tear based on the length of time in the property.
Again, we want to thank you for your timely notice and we are happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding these procedures. Please put the above Move Out Date on your calendar and contact us as soon as possible if you will not be able to Move out completely at that date.
