Falcon Landing Move-out

It was a pleasure having you stay with us this past year! Below you will find all the information you need regarding our expectations on how your apartment should be left when you check-out, as well as our check-out process.

Step 1 | Move-out Preparations

• Complete the USPS mail forwarding address form in person, at USPS, or online, at least 10 days before your departure.
  • Our office does not need verification that this step was done.
• Empty all cabinets, drawers and closets in your bedroom(s) and common spaces.
  
• Remove any stickers, window clings or decorations in your bedroom(s) and common spaces.
  
• Clean kitchen cabinets, countertops, sink, stove, microwave and oven (inside and out).
  
  • On your stove top we recommend using a product called “cerama bryte”, or a similar glass stove top cleaner (which can be found at the grocery store) with a non-abrasive scrub pad.
• Clean the refrigerator, inside and outside.
• Bathtubs, showers, toilets and plumbing fixtures should be scrubbed and cleaned.
• Close and lock all windows.
• All trash needs to be removed from the apartment and discarded in the appropriate trash receptacles.
  • There will be a charge of $25.00 per bag of trash removed by Falcon Landing Staff after your departure.
• Remove all personal furniture.
  • There will be a charge of $50.00 per piece of furniture removed by Falcon Landing Staff after your departure.      

Step 2 | Choose a Check-Out Option 

You must check-out of your apartment no later than 10 a.m. on Staurday, May 3.  

Failure to check-out and have all personal property removed by the above date and time will result in a holdover charge equal to $100 per day.

Please reference our Damage Billing Estimates for estimated fee amounts. Contact the leasing office if you have any questions regarding the fees.

Falcon Landing Apartments will charge for the following (this list is not all-inclusive):

• Belongings or trash left in the apartment:
  • $25 per bag of trash removed by Falcon Landing staff.
    
  • $50 per piece of furniture removed by Falcon Landing staff. All property remaining in your apartment after you and/or all residents have checked out will be considered abandoned and will be discarded accordingly. This will be billed to your Bursar account as "excessive cleaning".
• Any holes in the walls that will be required to be patched in order to be painted.
  
• The replacement of broken items in the apartment, including but not limited to; windows, appliances, furniture, etc.
• Common space damage:
  • If damage is found in a common space, cost will be split between both residents. If a single resident wants to claim full responsibility for the damage, please note this on the Damage Responsibility Form.
• Excessive cleaning:
  • failure to conduct a full apartment clean will result in an excessive cleaning charge being billed to your Bursar account. Please ensure that all spaces in your apartment have been cleaned prior to your departure. These spaces include, but are not limited to:
    • Bathroom and bathroom items (sink, toilet, tub, etc.)
    • Kitchen appliances and counter tops
    • Stains in furniture and/or kitchen and dining room wood flooring.
    • Bedroom furniture, including mattresses*.
      
  • Please note, even if you are moving out before your roommate, you are still required to ensure that a full apartment clean has been completed.
    

For your protection and ours, Falcon Landing staff will be photographing all damages and abandoned furniture/trash left in each appaapartment. Please keep this in mind as you are preparing the apartment for your departure.

*If there are stains on the mattress, and Falcon Landing Staff are unable to remove them, the resident will be charged for new mattress. If Falcon Landing Staff are able to remove the stain, resident will only be charged for stain removal.

It is Falcon Landing Apartments’ policy to process damages/charges (if applicable) within forty-five (45) days after resident departure. Once the apartment/bedroom has been inspected, you will receive a Resident Account Settlement Form, by email, if there are any applicable charges, and your amount due to Falcon Landing Apartments.  If there are no charges due, you will not receive an email. 

If you do not agree with specific damages/charges, you may file an appeal in writing within 7 business days from the date on the Resident Account Settlement Form sent to you. Failure to appeal damages/charges in the timeframe allotted will result in forfeiture in your right to appeal and all damages/charges will stand. Letters of appeal may be sent to Falcon Landing Apartments by way of the Postal Service, or by email.

If it is not determinable which resident is responsible for damages found, the bill will be split by ALL residents of the apartment.

The keys you were issued for your apartment and mailbox must be returned to the Falcon Landing leasing office prior to your move-out, in undamaged, working order. Please reference below the charges for missing or damaged keys:

The hang-tag parking pass you were issued for your vehicle must be returned to the leasing office prior to your departure. If you do not return your parking pass and proceed to park in the Falcon Landing parking lot past your departure date, your vehicle will be towed at your expense. Please reference below the charges for failure to return your parking pass:

Garbage bags and all other trash must be taken out of your apartment and placed INSIDE the dumpster, located at the East end of the parking lot.

For each bag of trash Falcon Landing staff must remove from your apartment, or if it is determined that the bag of trash set outside the apartment/apartment building belonged to you, you will be billed $25 per bag of trash to your Bursar account.
