NREM Residents: Thank you once again for renting with Nevins Real Estate Management (NREM). We hope that you had a positive leasing and living experience with us! As you prepare for the end of the lease contract, we have several important steps and reminders to best assist you. Our goal is to ensure that the transition is simple for everyone, minimizes confusion and reduces stress. Following the advice within this pamphlet is sure to help. However, we encourage you to call or stop by our office with any questions.

So, you might want to know why we are asking you to follow our specific Move-Out instructions. Bottom Line: We want all vacating residents to receive their security deposit in full within 30-days once the apartment is cleared, cleaned and inspected for any damages. Therefore, following our suggested guidelines is sure to yield positive results. Carefully review and complete the steps below.

STEP 1: Know Your Lease End Date We understand that residents will move out at varied times due to graduation and new employment opportunities, etc. Regardless of your actual move-out date, your lease remains in effect through the end of the contract. A unit inspection will be completed after the contract ends. PROPERTY END DATE RENEWAL DATE Aurum Monday, August 10, 2020 Tuesday, August 11, 2020

STEP 2: Determine Your Type of Move-Out Status

Not Renewing: Your lease ends and ALL residents are moving out.

• Clean and vacate your apartment per our suggestions. Refer to Steps 3 – 6 in this pamphlet and any other

related correspondence from our office Partial Renewal: Some residents will remain in the unit and one or more new residents will join for the next lease term

• Residents on the current lease are expected to take ownership and responsibility for ensuring that the unit is in

“move-in” ready condition for the new residents who are moving in on the lease start date • Cleaning and damage fees WILL be assessed upon unit inspection by Management at the end of the current

lease term. ALL residents (i.e., who vacate and remain on the lease for another lease term) will be charged accordingly

STEP 3: Cancel Contracted Services Any and all contracted services associated with your apartment that are currently in your name must be canceled on your lease end date. Call the Gas and Electric provider(s) several weeks in advance to terminate your services on your lease end date and no earlier. If you wait until the last minute to cancel services, they will not be able to get a final reading so they will estimate your final bill based off of prior year usage.

CABLE: Comcast (1-855-638-2855) • Terminate service and remember to drop off your cable box and remote at the Comcast Service

Center (325 E. Beaver Avenue or 1801 North Atherton Street). NOTE: They can charge you for the equipment if you do not return it

INTERNET: DoJo or GetWireless (814-867-2100)

• Remember to return any rented equipment to the company (220 Regent Court, Suite 8; State College) if applicable. NOTE They can charge you for the equipment if you do not return it

ELECTRIC: West Penn Power (1-800-686-0021)

• Call their office and have the electric account out of your name. The service will automatically revert back into our name. NOTE: The termination date for services is your actual end lease date.

GAS: Columbia Gas (1-888-460-4332) • East Foster, Park Lane (219 Bldg.) and West Beaver Complex residents must call the gas company and

have the service taken out of your name. The service will automatically revert back into our name. NOTE: The termination date for services is your actual lease end date.

Important Note: NREM will place usage charges on your account if Gas and/or Electric services are terminated from your name prior to the expiration of the lease. When you take the service out of your name they revert back to the Landlord.

STEP 4: Carpet Cleaning Your carpets must be professionally cleaned near the end of your lease date. We have recommended companies who we know will guarantee their work. These Companies include:

Lion Blue Carpet Crew – 814-753-4857 Central Steamer – 814-342-4565

Master Shine – 814-404-4806

Please note the following: 1. Carpets cannot be cleaned more than 2-3 days prior to your lease end date. We want to ensure that your

carpets are clean, fresh and dry for when the new residents move in. 2. We recommend that you call several weeks in advance to schedule a date and time to have your carpets

cleaned, if you plan on setting up the service. 3. A printed or emailed receipt for payment of services MUST be sent to or dropped off to our office. Without a

receipt you could get charged for a second cleaning. 4. Please leave ceiling fans on after carpets are cleaned to prevent mold and mildew. Thank you!

Important Note: NREM will deduct fees for the carpet cleaning from your security deposit if the carpet cleaning services are not rendered and/or a receipt was not received from you or the company who performed the service. Our cost to clean the carpet is VERY comparable to what you would pay so if they are not cleaned it will not cost you more.
