I need to move but my lease has not expired yet. What is the process and what are the potential fees?
- If you are breaking your lease, we need a minimum notice of 40 days to vacate. This form can be obtained in the office or via your resident portal. You must pay a pro-rated amount of rent through the 40 days as well as pay a termination fee equal to one month’s rent. Early termination of a lease will result in the security deposit being forfeited. Further details are covered on the vacate notice.
- If you have military orders to move, we require a 30-day notice to vacate and no termination fees will apply. This is for military orders ONLY.
