When It's Time to Move Out

Prior to receiving keys, the following steps must be completed:

Contact all utility providers and verify the last day of service is one day after the date you return your keys to Summit View Properties.
		                        
You'll contact your property manager in advance to determine when/how you'll return your keys. The expectation is that this happens after the following move-out checklist has been complete.
