What must be handled before the final move-out review.
The goal is simple: return the home clean, empty, documented, and ready for final inspection. Missing receipts, missing keys, utilities turned off too early, or items left behind can delay the process.
Cleaning
The home should be fully cleaned, including kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, floors, baseboards, cabinets, drawers, fixtures, and all interior areas.
Carpets
If carpet cleaning is required, use a professional carpet cleaner and keep the receipt. Upload the receipt before or immediately after move-out.
Utilities
Utilities should remain active through your move-out date and final access period unless otherwise instructed by management.
Keys & Devices
Return all keys, mailbox keys, garage remotes, gate cards, fobs, parking passes, and any other property access devices.
Personal Property
Remove all personal belongings, trash, furniture, boxes, chemicals, garage items, attic items, and exterior debris from the property.
Forwarding Address
A forwarding address is required so management can process required move-out correspondence and deposit disposition documents.
Documents to upload.
House Cleaning Receipt
Carpet Cleaning Receipt
Upload professional house cleaning receipt with 30 warranty.
Upload professional carpet cleaning receipt if applicable.
Utility Termination Confirmation
Upload utility confirmation or related documentation when requested.
Proof of Forwarding Address
Upload or submit forwarding address confirmation for move-out processing.
Other Move-Out Documents
Upload any additional documents related to your move-out.
Key Return Confirmation

Final Confirmation

This page will feed the admin move-out dashboard.
Once the backend is connected, every Notice to Vacate and every uploaded document should create or update a tenant move-out record so the office can track each file from notice through final closeout.
Tenant submits notice and office receives email notification.
Dashboard move-out record is created automatically.
Receipts and confirmations are attached to the tenant file.
Office tracks inspection status and missing items.
Move-out file is completed and archived after processing.
Document the condition of the home at move-in.
This section will become the move-in condition reporting system. Tenants should be able to submit notes, photos, and videos shortly after move-in so condition issues are documented properly.
This protects the tenant, owner, and management company by creating a clear starting condition record.
- Report move-in condition items
- Upload photos and videos
- Document existing cosmetic issues
- Attach submissions to tenant record
- Make records viewable in dashboard
Common move-out questions.
These FAQs can be expanded later, but this gives tenants the key reminders in one place.
Do I still need to submit official notice?
Yes. A move-out conversation is not the same as a complete written notice. Use the official notice process once the form is live.
When should utilities be turned off?
Utilities should generally remain active through your move-out date and final access period unless Clear Direction Real Estate gives different instructions.
Do I need to upload cleaning receipts?
Yes, if cleaning or carpet cleaning receipts are required, upload them so they are attached to your move-out file.
Can I leave items behind?
No. Personal property, trash, furniture, chemicals, boxes, and exterior debris should be removed before surrendering the property.
Do I need to provide a forwarding address?
Yes. A forwarding address is needed for move-out correspondence and deposit disposition processing.
When will I receive my security deposit?
Security deposit dispositions are processed in accordance with Texas law after the property is inspected and all outstanding balances are determined with 30 days.
Do I need to mow the lawn before moving out?
Yes. If lawn care is the tenant's responsibility under the lease, the yard should be properly maintained through the move-out date..
Do I receive a copy of the move-in or move-out report?
Yes. These reports are completed by our team for documentation and may be provided through the tenant portal or by request.
