How to Get Your Security Deposit Back
Except everything surrounding a tenancy move out, getting the security deposit is something to concern about. There are some basics to follow in order to receive as bigger part as possible.
It is necessary to notify the landlord. Give appropriate notice to the place’s owner. If you are paying monthly inform at least half a month before the deadline. Giving a notice does not only mean to tell him/her that you will be vacating the place on a certain date. It is best to give notice in writing and to have it sent by certified mail to ensure there is proof that notice was given. By making a phone call you have to insure that your letter was received. If you fail to inform the landlord in time you may have to pay the next months rent.
After you have given a notice it is time to start preparing the place for the inspection. Take your personal possessions out. You may need to have day or two for dealing with the move out cleaning. If you find a local cleaning agency that provides its services for a price that is below the amount you have paid for the deposit then it is a sensible solution to hire such a company.
The vision of the place should be as when you moved in, in terms of cleanliness. Note any damage that was not present when you entered the place for the first time. You will have to repair it. Damage from previous tenants should have been documented by the landlord, so do not worry.
However, except cleanliness there are other lease obligations. There may be other requirements mentioned in the contract. If there are any rules that you have not followed it surely means that you will not get your deposit back.
Finally, ask the tenancy’s owner about the deposit earlier. Ask your landlord to loot at the place to see if there is anything specific to be done to ensure getting your entire deposit back. If your show the property’s owner that you have hired moving out cleaning services before leaving you have a significantly improved chance to be refunded. Most of the companies can always provide evidence for the cleaning processes that have taken place in the given tenancy. This is a clear way to get your money back without any effort.
