Please keep in mind, we have many apartments, so if you’re looking for a change, check with us first. We may have unadvertised vacancies. If you DO need to move, please read the following instructions:
- Give us 30 days notice in writing either by mailing to us (Thunder Hill Properties, LLC, P.O. Box 477, South China, ME 04358), or emailing (NEVER TEXTING) manager@thunderhillproperties.com. The notice should include your exact move-out date and forwarding address you’d like your security deposit sent to. YOUR NOTICE IS NOT CONSIDERED RECEIVED until we acknowledge receipt. If you don’t receive a reply within 24 hours, be sure to follow up with a phone call to be sure we received your email. Once we receive your notice, we’ll email you cleaning checklists and other important information.
- Note: The majority of people give notice on the first day of the month and move out on the last day of the month. However, you can move out any day you like as long as you give a full 30 day notice. For example, if you give us notice on October 10th, you would be responsible for rent up to and including November 9th. Even though you are responsible for paying rent for the full 30 days, you can still move earlier. For example, you find a new apartment on October 10th and give notice. But your new apartment is ready on November 1st. You can move in on November first, but would still be responsible for rent up to the 10th. Some people prefer this anyway because it allows them to move out over the course of a few days instead of rushing.
- Keep your apartment neat: We MAY BE showing your apartment to prospective tenants during your notice period, so it’s important to keep your place reasonably neat and clean. We will give a 24 hour notice.
- Review the Tenant / Resident Manual: Follow the move out process to ensure that you will receive your security deposit. The Tenant / Resident Manual is available for download on the Tenant Resources page.
- Follow the Move Out Package which is available on the Tenant Resources page. It provides specific instructions, responsibilities and a cleaning checklist.
- Your security deposit will be refunded, less any charges if applicable, within approximately two weeks after move out unless you have pets, in which case it will be a full thirty days.
- Alert us right away of anything that needs “fixing” that you may have forgotten to mention before, so we can get those items scheduled in.
