UTILITIES:
All utilities are kept on through the last day of your lease or last paid date that you will be in home; if by chance there has been a delay of your move. If you break of the lease before your lease is up any utilities must stay on in your name until new tenant occupies property. When billing comes in for property you could be charged for your portion of utilities if cut off to soon.
CHANGE OF MOVE OUT DATE AFTER NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN:
If certain circumstances happen and you choose to change your scheduled Move Out Date/ Time, you will need to put a request in which MUST BE IN WRITING with confirmation back in writing, before you make final plans to extend your stay. There are NO guarantees that we can change this date and make this happen as we may have a new tenant ready to move in once you have moved out.
