Solo Roommate Move Out

Move Out Information

Moving can be stressful! We try to make it as easy as possible!

Solo Resident Move Out

If you are looking at moving out, but one or more Residents will be staying, make sure that is as clear as possible! You will need to work out much of the details of your move out with remaining Residents, but it is important to make sure that you are removed from the property record as soon as you move out!

Submit your Notice

We have one or more residents wanting to move out soon. While not all residents are being removed from the lease, we will need a letter/email for each resident that wish(es) to vacate the property. Please include the date you intend to turn in your keys to the office of Palm Property Management and your forwarding address(es) of each resident leaving (and their attached cosigner). Please be sure to put your notice in on your online tenant portal (under Contact Us) with the date you intend to turn in your keys (either to our office or to the remaining Residents).

Adding a new Roommate?

If you already have or are looking for someone taking over a person's place on the lease, the new individual will need to apply online and be approved. Subleasing is not allowed and is a breach of the lease. Please note that all tenants over the age of 18 should be approved through the application process and listed on the lease. (We know that when a roommate leaves, it can be really stressful, particularly if it is unexpected! We need updates from you and we need the new roommate to complete their application as soon as possible to make sure that everyone is protected by the lease.) 

Here is the link for the new resident's application: Roommate Application Link

Security Deposit

The security deposit will remain with the property, so all residents will need to discuss and handle pay out of security deposit separately from Palm Property Management. The security deposit, after ALL resident(s) vacate and if any is due, will be returned to the remaining resident(s) on the lease. Please note all damages will be assessed at the final move out of all tenants. The new tenant assumes all responsibility and will accept the unit in “As Is” condition when they move in.

Utility Update

The remaining resident(s) must ensure all utilities are in their name, and provide proof to our email. These utilities must be transferred over by the outgoing tenant's move out date. Please provide a copy of the utility change receipts to the office at info@palmpropertymgt.com. If the utilities have always been in your name, then no further steps are needed. 

Anything Else?

  • Once the notice vacating resident(s) is received, and a plan is in place for either (1) the remaining residents to stay on the lease without a replacement for the immediate future, or (2) the remaining residents to secure a new roommate immediately, then there is an addendum to be electronically signed by all financially responsible resident(s) to release the outgoing Residents.
  • When applicable, there will also be a revised lease electronically signed following the addendum for the remaining/new resident(s) that must be signed.
  • If there are any dependent(s) or pet(s), we will need to know if they will leaving or staying.
  • If you are having a new resident/roommate submit an application to replace the outgoing tenant, a $150.00 will be assessed to complete this roommate transition. We recommend determining who will pay this fee in advance. Most residents prefer for the outgoing tenant to pay this fee, as they are the ones being removed from the lease.
  • Again, please be advised that it is stated in your lease that any tenant over the age of 18 living in the home must go through the application process, be approved, and be listed on the lease. As soon as you have a new roommate, please let us know, and we would be happy to send you the application link.
  • All balances have to be zero to proceed with the removal of the previous/outgoing resident.
  • If applicable, you can turn in your key at the office located at 360 Quarterman Dr. Suite 1. Operating hours are Monday through Friday 8am-5pm except holidays. We do have a dropbox, if you would like to leave your keys after hours. Just please ensure that your name and the address of the property is on the envelope the keys are in. (However, you are not required to complete this step.)
