the furniture cushions, scrubbing the dirt
on the walls and washing the mini-blinds.
Tenants should also replace any bumt-out
light bulbs and smoke detector batteries.
Gray also said if tenants have excessive
holes in the walls from pictures, they
should not attempt to cover them without
authorization from management.
In bedrooms and living rooms, having a
clean carpet is an important factor. Many
apartment complexes have vacuums that
tenants can check out. Students should
consult the property manager if they are
considering steam-cleaning the carpet.
The kitchen usually requires the most
attention, and the oven tends to be the
most problematic feature. Gray suggests
spraying oven cleaner a day early so it
can soak for a while before the oven
walls are scrubbed.
Junior Sunshine Clark recommends clean
ing the drip pans underthe stove burners.
After deep cleaning, students will
have less stress and more success with
the inspection.
Yard maintenance
As with other areas of the property, re
turn the yard to its original condition. At
the minimum, students should mow the
lawn within a day or two before they move.
Senior Maren Zieba suggests letting the
grass grow longer between mowing.
“It’s much more environmentally
sound,” she said.
Tenants should check the rent con
tract for any specific plant care require
ments, such as trimming bushes.
Residence halls
Although students living in the resi
dence halls do not pay a security deposit
up front, they can still be charged for
cleaning and damages. If the room’s con
dition is outside of wear and tear and
normal cleaning, there could be a charge,
according to Deanna Miller and Sheri
Donahoe of University Housing.
Before they move out, students should
remove all trash, dishes and concrete
blocks. Charitable organizations will
have bins in the hall lobbies and com
mon areas where students can leave
their unwanted items.
Mutual responsibilities
Tenants who have month-to-month
rental agreements should give the land
lord a written 30-day notice for when
they plan to move. Leasing tenants
whose contracts are near expiration
should inform the manager in writing
about 30 days before their expected
move dates. Students need to give their
landlord a forwarding address as well.
Once a tenant has moved out, the land
lord must return either the full deposit or a
written statement for the amount withheld.
The Oregon Landlord and Tenant Act states
that if the landlord fails to return a statement
within 31 days, the tenant can receive up to
twice the security deposit. For more infor
mation, students can go to the ASUO Legal
Services office in Suite 334 oftheEMU.
Whether or not the full deposit is returned,
the treatment of property is still important.
“Be careful and respectful, whether it’s
in a residence hall or an apartment, ” Miller
said. “Those records will follow you. Lots
of places ask forrental references.”
