Move-out Requirements and Cleaning Checklist
To help you get your full security deposit back, here is a list of things to take care of:
- WRITTEN NOTICE: If you haven’t given your 30 day written notice, please do so via your tenant portal or by emailing support@jacobgrant.com.
- REPAIR AND REPLACE: Perform or arrange repairs and replace items that are on the attached “Move Out Checklist”. (Anything not repaired or replaced may result in a charge.)
- CLEAN: complete every line item on the attached “Cleaning Checklist” as you clean.
- FORWARDING ADDRESS: Provide a forwarding address where we can mail your deposit return. We will send your deposit return to your forwarding address within 30 days of receiving your keys. Submit the address through your tenant portal or by emailing support@jacobgrant.com.
- UTILITIES: Have the utilities taken out of your name and put into the name of Jacob Grant PM effective the day after your move out date. Unless this is an early termination then you are responsible until the unit is re-rented.
- KEYS: Once you are out and done, RETURN keys and a signed cleaning checklist to your nearest Jacob Grant Office (leave garage door openers in a kitchen drawer). If keys are not returned to our office on or before your move out date you will be charged rent for the additional days and a $50 non-returned key fee.
Our Locations:
- Idaho Falls Office – 490 Park Ave, Ste 1
- Pocatello Office – 1175 Call Creek Dr, Ste 100

Move Out Before End of Lease Term
Situations often change and plans must be changed. Jacob Grant has options prepared so you can reduce the expense of breaking your lease and moving out early. Learn more >>. Download our Early Move Out Options here.
Security Deposit Return
Getting your security deposit refund begins at the beginning of your lease. All terms of the lease must be followed including giving at least 30 days of written notice. Here are some more helpful hints:
- Give yourself plenty of time to move.
- Give yourself plenty of time to clean. Moving is stressful. Thought of hiring someone to clean when you are moved? Hiring and organizing your own housekeeper can save you $$$.
- Read your lease to remind you of all hourly cleaning and repair rates.

I appreciated your helpfulness

I've worked with Jacob Grant property management for several years now and they have been a great partner. They think of the things that I don't have time to think of. They come to me when we need to make bigger investments in my property, but most of the time, they just handle the issues that come up. Their team is proactive with their communication and if I reach out, they are responsive to my inquiries. I strongly recommend Jacob Grant for anyone looking for a good property manager.

Jacob Grant Property Management, A company above the rest. When looking for a property in the Southern Idaho region we found several perfect locations that fit my mother's needs. She desired to move home and away from the busy city life of Utah. We understood that we were just another client for JacobGrant but the overwhelming efforts our Resident Coordinator Nichole Young made to accommodate my mother's needs (especially while she was out of the office handeling a family emergency) went far beyond just great customer service. We felt that Nichole Young and the Jacob Grant staff understood the importance of our situation and went above and beyond her duties in finding the right home for my mother. Many clients are looking to just rent an apartment or a home. Others are looking to purchase a home but are focused on balancing their budget with what's available. In our case, we were fulfilling a life goal for not only my mother and her return to her family and the resting place of her loved ones but for myself as well. Jacob Grant understood we were looking for more than just a roof over our heads. We were returning home. Nichole Young helped us both take that step forward toward a dream and a fresh start. Thank you again

Everything seems to be going well with the management company. They are conscientious and give good customer service when needed. Signing of the lease was easy and we are very happy with the management company.

I lived in a Jacob Grant property from 2021 through 2023. Jacob grant enployees make their efforts to respond promptly to maintenance requests and other call requests. When I moved out of the apartment, a crucial piece of mail arrived at my old residency in a Jacob Grant property rather than to my residency. My wife called JGPM, and the lady said that they would promptly go to the apartment, review the mail received, and take it to the nearest post office to forward the mail to my new address. A couple of days after the phone, I received this crucial piece of mail to my address. My wife and I were so relieved. I am not sure yet if I would get any of my deposit back or not, haha, but regardless of that I can say that my wife, my baby and I enjoyed our time with JGPM and will recomend them for sure. Thanks JGPM for this wonderful time.

I really enjoyed the service provided at this company. Amanda was lovely and kind. She made sure all of my questions were thoroughly answered.

I thought moving out of town would be a headache. It actually was smooth and I have Amanda to thank for that. Once I have her what I was looking for and places I had in mind, she put her spin on it and out cane a beautiful 4bd 3bth spacious home. I would definitely use this company again because of Amanda. She was professional, kind, listened, and actually did her part to make a smooth move. We can all say she was doing her job but, some people do do their job duties. Amanda went above and beyond and for that, I am grateful!
Sep 10, 2023
The property was already rented out but Amanda helped me look at other properties that might work for me and my family. Thanks
