A 60-day written notice is required prior to the end of your lease term, whether you plan to renew your lease or move out. This means we must receive written notice at least 60 days before your lease expiration date.
 
As your lease expiration approaches, the leasing team will contact you to discuss your options, which may include renewing your lease, moving out, or other available options based on current availability and community policies. Lease renewals and month-to-month agreements are subject to management approval and are not guaranteed.
 
Residents who wish to remain in the community after their lease expires should contact the leasing office as early as possible to discuss available options. In some situations, short-term lease extensions or month-to-month agreements may be available; however, these options are offered on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to additional fees or premiums.
 
If proper notice is not provided, or if a renewal agreement is not signed before the lease expiration date, the lease may convert to a month-to-month agreement at the current market rate plus any applicable month-to-month premium, as permitted by the lease agreement.
 
Failure to provide the required 60-day written notice may result in additional charges, including additional rent beyond your original lease term at the applicable month-to-month rate and premium. Please refer to your lease agreement or contact the leasing office for complete details regarding notice requirements, renewal options, and move-out procedures.

Residents are not expected to perform a professional or deep cleaning prior to move-out.
