California Pre-Inspection Move-Out

This serves as formal notification that the Tenant has the right to request a pre-move-out inspection of the Leased Premises. The Pre-Move-Out inspection takes place during the last FOURTEEN (14) days of the Tenancy and the Tenant HAS THE RIGHT TO BE PRESENT DURING THE INSPECTION. The inspection may take place in the Tenant's absence with the Tenant's written consent.

The Landlord will make a pre-move-inspection only if the Tenant has requested one. The inspection will take place no earlier than two weeks before the termination of the tenancy or the end of the term specified in the Lease Agreement. The purpose of this inspection is to identify any cleaning or repairs that may be needed and would result in deductions from the Tenant's security deposit. Unless prohibited by the law or the Lease Agreement, the Tenant does have the right to make corrections, if possible, after the inspection but before the termination of the tenancy in order to avoid deductions from the security deposit.

Within TWENTY-ONE (21) days after the Landlord has regained possession of the Leased Premises, the Landlord will send an itemized statement to the Tenant's last known address. The statement will include the total security deposit received, any deductions made, and either the full security deposit or any remaining balance.

Please be advised: State law permits former tenants to reclaim abandoned personal property left at the former address of the tenant, subject to certain conditions. You may or may not be able to reclaim property without incurring additional costs, depending on the cost of storing the property and the length of time before it is reclaimed. In general, these costs will be lower the sooner you contact your former Landlord after being notified that property belonging to you was left behind after you moved out.
