Move Out Process / Notice of Surrender
1. RE/MAX Infinity must be notified in writing of your intent to vacate the property, at least 30 days before you plan
on moving out. Refer to your lease for exact notice requirements. Complete ‘30 Day Move Out Notice’ online or in
writing.
2. All utilities must remain on, in your name, for 5 business days after the end of your lease date, regardless of your
actual vacate date. If utilities are not left on, a reconnection fee (see fee addendum) will be charged to your
account along with any actual utility cost incurred during the 5-day period.
3. Garage and alarm remotes should be left in the kitchen, on the counter at move out. Keys should be returned to
the RE/MAX Infinity office in Pace.
4. You have not officially moved out until you surrender the property to RE/MAX Infinity. Surrendering the property
requires that keys are returned to RE/MAX and the Notice to Surrender is signed. You may:
a. Drop off keys and paperwork at our office, located at 3782 Hwy 90, Pace FL 32571. Keys and paperwork
can be dropped through the “Mail” slot after hours and over the weekend. Make sure keys and paperwork
are inside an envelope before dropping them in the slot.
b. Request a lockbox to be installed at your house and place your keys in the lockbox upon departure.
Notice of Surrender must be dropped off, faxed, or e-mailed to our office.
5. Walk-throughs are not completed with departing tenants. We will complete our inspections as soon as you have
surrendered the property. Tenants will not be allowed back into the home for any reason after the Notice of
Surrender has been received, so please ensure that you have fully completed all move-out cleaning and
maintenance prior to surrendering home.
6. All property (including trash from outside cans) must be removed from the property before you surrender it.
Household items and lawn equipment left by an owner should be neatly grouped together in the garage or closet.
7. Upon surrender of the property, the following should be completed at the house:
a. Home professionally cleaned – receipt should be left on kitchen counter or e-mailed to office.
b. Carpets professionally cleaned – receipt should be left on kitchen counter or e-mailed to office.
i. Personal or rented carpet shampoo machines will not be accepted.
c. Lawn should be mowed, all bushes and shrubs should be trimmed, flowerbeds should be weeded, and
mulch should be refreshed.
d. Satellite Dishes should be removed from the property.
e. Home and driveway should be pressure washed.
f.
A/C Filter should be replaced and all light bulbs should be in working condition.
g. Replace any non-working blinds, stove drip pans, smoke detectors/batteries, broken or missing door
stops, and drain stoppers.
h. Any rooms painted without authorization, or under condition of being returned to the original color, should
be repainted back to the original color. Walls should be free of major scuffs and gouges; nails should be
removed from the wall. DO NOT PUTTY OR PATCH NAIL/SCREW HOLES UNLESS YOU INTEND TO
PAINT THE ENTIRE WALL.
8. Your security deposit will be returned to you within 30 days after you surrender the property to your last known
address. Please make sure we have your forwarding address for quicker claim processing and receipt. Your
deposit will be handled in one of 3 ways:
a. Full Refund of Deposit
b. Partial Refund of Deposit – A detailed statement will be included listing any deductions and/or charges.
c. No Refund of Deposit and/or a Bill for Damages - A detailed statement will be included listing any
deductions and/or charges.
i. If you receive a bill, the balance must be paid within 30 days of receiving the bill. Delinquent
accounts are subject to legal action or will be turned over to a collection agency.
9. There will be a $75.00 administrative charge deducted from your deposit, in addition to any deductions for
damages or cleaning, if any cleaning or tenant-responsible repairs have to be completed post-surrender.
