Move-Out Process
While we are sad to see you go, we understand that situations change and sometimes moving out is necessary. In order to help make your move-out process go as smoothly as possible, we have compiled some information on the move-out process for your reference.
PROVIDE 30-DAY NOTICE TO THRIVE STREET LIVING: Per your lease agreement and Nebraska State Statutes, all tenants are required to provide notice to Thrive Street Living at least 30 days in advance of the end of the month in which they are moving out. All of our leases go month-to-month after the end of the lease term until a 30-day notice is provided by either party, or a lease is renewed.
Example #1:
Your lease expires on April 30th. You want to move out by the end of May (the following month). Because your rent is paid in monthly increments, starting on the 1st day of the month and ending on the last day of the month, you would need to put your notice in by the last day of April in order to move out by the end of May.
Example #2:
Your lease expires on April 30th. You want to move out on June 15th. Because your rent is paid in monthly increments, starting on the 1st day of the month and ending on the last day of the month, you would need to put your notice in by the last day of April in order to move out by June 15th (with prorated rent owed for June). Many tenants misinterpret the 30-day notice statute, believing they can put a notice in on May 15th in this scenario, which gives 30 days of notice. That is not correct. Tenants need to put in a 30-day written notice by the 1st of the month (including their forwarding address) when they plan to move out, OR by the 1st of the month BEFORE they plan to move out. We understand this can be confusing. To be safe, if a tenant plans to move out any day except the very end of the next month, they should put in a 45-day written notice.
There are three different ways to provide your move-out notice:
Through the online tenant portal
Email our office at Info@ThriveStreetLiving.com
Mail to:
Thrive Street Living
5074 S. 107th St.
Omaha, NE 68127
RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT: To ensure the return of your security deposit within fourteen (14) days, please provide us with a forwarding address if you have not done so. Security deposits will be mailed to your forwarding address after you have moved out and after all the following terms and conditions have been met. If there are any changes in your plans, please notify our office as soon as possible.
MOVE-OUT LIST:
MOVE-OUT CHECKLIST: Normal wear and tear is expected. However, upon vacating, your apartment should be in the same, original, clean condition as it was when it was leased to you. Tenants must thoroughly clean the unit, including doors, baseboards, windows, carpet, bathrooms, kitchen and in/around kitchen appliances, patios, balconies, garages, and storage rooms. Tenants will be charged a minimal $75 fee to cover basic cleaning costs at move out. Additional charges will be assessed for units not vacated as clean as when the tenant moved in. The tenant will also be charged a minimum carpet cleaning fee of $125 if they do not provide a dated receipt proving that carpets were professionally cleaned after move-out date. Surrender, abandonment, and eviction ends a tenant's right of possession for all purposes and gives Thrive Street Living the immediate right to: clean up, make repairs in, and relet the apartment; determine any security deposit deductions; and remove property left in the apartment. Surrender, abandonment, and eviction affect Resident's rights to property left in the apartment. Surrender, abandonment, and eviction do not affect Thrive Street Living's mitigation obligations.
