We make it easy to move into a new home
At Blue Hawk Property Management, our goal is to make moves as simple as possible for our tenants. We've compiled moving checklists covering the most common questions we hear from renters.

Move-in Checklist
First Month's Rent & Security Deposit
Your first month's rent must be paid before you can move into your property. You also must leave security deposit to cover the cost of any damage that occurs during your stay. Confirm these amounts and payment methods with our team before you come to the signing.
Move-in Date & Inspection
We will cover all relevant information about your move-in, including initial inspection rules, at the lease signing.
Utilities
As a tenant in a Blue Hawk Property Management home, you must place all utility accounts in your name. Please take care of this immediately upon signing the lease. Remember, you are responsible for keeping these accounts current throughout the duration of your tenancy.
Move-out Checklist
Notice of Intent to Vacate
Planning to leave your Blue Hawk rental home? Check your lease to determine the end date of your lease; you are responsible for paying rent through that date.
We ask that you please let us know of your upcoming departure at least 60 days before moving out.
Property Condition
Before you can hand in the keys for your rental property, you must take care of the following:
- Rental Cleaning: Your rental property should be carefully cleaned, with all of your possessions and any trash removed from the home. Take care to sanitize bathroom and kitchen spaces, and please vacuum/sweep all floors in the premises.
- Landscaping/Outdoors: If you typically take care of lawn care or other landscaping tasks, address these chores once more before vacating.
- Repairs: Any repairs necessary in your home need to be taken care of before you move out. This includes repainting, patching nail and screw holes, and changing out lightbulbs.
Security Deposit
Security deposits are designed to cover any repair costs for damage that occurs during your stay. If you have any late fees, back due rent, or other issues with your account, we may also use the deposit to cover these expenses.
After performing a final inspection and making any repairs necessary, we will return the remainder of your funds to you with an itemized statement.
