We understand that move-ins and move-outs are stressful, and we want to make the experience as smooth as possible. Wondering when and where to sign your lease? Not sure how to go about picking up your keys? Unsure what to do if you choose not to renew when your lease is up? Our staff will be more than happy to go over the details with you. For an overview of our move-in and move-out processes, see the outlines below.
Move-in Procedures
Once deposit has been received, lease will be sent to you via email.
When lease is signed, Property Manager will schedule a move-in appointment at our office.
First month’s rent and/or prorated rent amounts are due at the time of move-in. This is due via ACH on your online portal.
You will receive set(s) of keys, a move-in packet with relative information, and a move-in condition report at designated move-in time.
You will have 72 hours after move-in to return the completed move-in report to our office.
If any issues are noted with the property condition (e.g. cleaning needed), you must notify Property Manager immediately and report the issue. If you choose to resolve the issue on their own, Real-Time Leasing is not responsible for rectifying the issue, and the issue will be marked as resolved.
All required utilities (as detailed in the lease) must be changed over into the your name PRIOR to move-in, or a minimum $75.00 lease violation fee will be charged to your ledger.
