**See your lease for your specific move out date. Dates on your lease are at 12:01am, which means you have until midnight of the day before** Example: If your lease says Aug. 8, 2022; you have until midnight on Aug. 7, 2022.


Groups that have 1 or more tenants that have re-signed please pay attention to the section below titled "Re-signed?" (in addition to the rest of the email)

Groups that have no tenants re-signing please pay attention to the section titled "Not re-signing?" (in addition to the rest of the email)




Forwarding Address/Damage Deposit:

Please email the forwarding address of the person whom you have elected to receive the security deposit to [email protected].

You must decide on only one person as only one check will be sent. Be sure this person is on your lease. 

When emailing include the following:
  • Current address (Ex. 134 Gunson. Unit # if applicable).
  • Full name of the person receiving the deposit.
  • Forwarding address (full address, including city, state, zip code & apartment # if applicable). This is the address you will be at 30 days from the end of the lease. *Be sure your name is on the mailbox.

Your itemized list of damages and any deposit refund will be sent within 30 days of the end of your lease. All deposit refunds/itemized list of damages will be mailed 30 days from the official end of your lease; regardless of whether you have moved out early.


If you have moved out early (or plan to), and your property will be vacant, please let us know and we may start our change over process. If you have broken doors, large holes in the walls, etc. & we may repair them at pre-turnover rates.



Upcoming Walk Through:

Be advised; we may come to your house in the coming weeks to look for possible repairs that can be done prior to the end of your lease. If you intend to fix any damages yourself, you must notify us via e-mail by 6-22-22 of the repairs you plan to do yourself. From there, all of those repairs must be completed by an agreed upon date. We will be the final judge in determining if a repair has been done correctly.

This is your notice; whether you are moving or some/all of you have re-signed, Mid-Michigan Glass and Ace Appliance will be coming to your home before your lease ends to repair any broken storms, screens, and windows as well as checking all appliances for repair. 

If you have removed a storm/screen, please re-install it or place it below the window it belongs in. This must be done immediately, and the storm/screen must remain there until your current lease ends, or you may be charged for a new one.


RE-SIGNING:
Tenants must pay all utility bills, if applicable, (Consumers Energy, Board of Water & Light, City of East Lansing Water & Sewage). If you personally are moving out (and have utilities in your name), but other roommates have re-signed, you are responsible for having the services transferred to another roommate’s name; except for the City of East Lansing water bill, we will transfer that bill for you. If you are staying you must continue to pay your bills as you normally would, there is no need to finalize any bills.

NOT RE-SIGNING:
DO NOT PAY YOUR FINAL CITY OF EAST LANSING WATER/SEWAGE BILL. 
You must pay the Board of Water & Light bill (this is your electric bill). We will pay your final City of East Lansing water/sewage bill and deduct it from your security deposit. Tenants must pay all other utility bills (if applicable) and are responsible for having the services turned off, including your cable/internet services. Be sure to return any modems or other equipment owned by your cable/internet provider.
