So you’re moving out of your apartment. You’re elated that you’re moving into a new Boston apartment, it’s like a fresh start. The possibilities are endless. However, you’ve been in your old apartment for the past couple of years, and the ware and tear has added up. Scuff marks on the walls, holes in the walls from your eclectic display of art work, the oven looks like something exploded in it, let’s not even begin to think about the refrigerator….worry sets in that you probably won’t be getting back that security deposit. That money would be nice to have.
Here are a few things you can do to up the possibility of getting that money back into your pocket.
1. Ask your landlord or apartment office for a copy of your move-out inspection.
By doing this you can go through the list and see what they are going to be looking for, and to see if you did any additional damage.
2. If it’s possible ask if you can have a walk through with your landlord or property manger before you move out to see what you can clean and repair.
It may be a smart idea to make the list as your going, while your landlord or property manger is there, and then have them sign it, so you don’t have any huge surprises afterwards.
3. Repair those walls!
Remove nails, and anything that may be sticking out, and then fill the holes. Basically what you want to do is get some puddy, fill the holes, and then if they need it sand them down, so it makes the surface smooth. You should also go around and try to get off those scuff marks with some soap and water.
4. ALWAYS clean the kitchen!
I can’t stress this enough. Turn on some tunes and clean out the fridge, clean the oven so it’s spotless, might as well hit the stove while you’re at it. Wipe out the cabinets with soap and water…do it all. Make it spotless! Clean the kitchen sink with some comet! It does wonders!
5. Clean the bathrooms.
In all honesty, I would rather clean bathrooms than dust. Clean the sink, the toilet, the tub, the mirrors, and any vents. It sounds nasty, and it probably is, but it needs to be done.
6. Clean all windows, blinds, and light fixtures, and don’t forget to sweep and mop the floors.
This is the part I HATE doing, because it involves dust, and to me, dust is NEVER ending, and I always say…”What’s the point?”
Don’t forget to replace burnt out light bulbs while your cleaning the light fixtures. I’ve been nailed for that one before.
7. It is suggested to take pictures in case they come back saying you damaged something.
We live in a digital age, I would even suggest taking pictures before you move into your new place, problems that are already there, so you don’t end up paying for it in the end, and it’s always good to have proof.
8. Painting.
Before doing any possible touch-ups or painting, consult your landlord. I know where I am at right now, if I want to paint, they will provide the paint, of course it’s a boring old white, but if it’s going to save you money, find out what their policy is. Some places may prefer to have professionals do it.
Here is a short list of some of the supplies you will probably need:
Mop and bucket
Paper towels and sponges
Windex
Duster or Swiffer
If you have carpet: a vacuum cleaner
Comet and Lysol work WONDERS
Dry Wall Repair putty (I’ve read on self help sites that toothpaste works too, and have used it before!)
Putty knife
Sandpaper
My biggest word of advice is be respectful of the property. Remember you are renting. Take care of your place.
If you have any comments or suggestions, or any helpful advice on getting your security deposit back, please leave us a comment!
