Move out notice: In accordance with the Kansas Landlord & Tenant Law HPM requires a minimum 30-day written notice from tenants of their intent to vacate. Written notice has to be received by HPM no later than 30 days before the next rent due date. For example, if rent is due on September 1st, the tenant must give 30-day written notice no later than August 2nd.

30-day notices must end on the last day of a calender month. HPM does not allow mid-month move outs and we do not pro-rate the last month of rent. Tenants are required to pay their last month in full although, they can vacate early at any point during that month if a 30-day notice has already been given by the tenant and accepted by HPM.

If a tenant fails to give the required minimum 30-day written notice of intent to vacate before the next rent due date the landlord can by law hold the tenant liable for an additional month’s rent. For example, if rent is due on September 1st and the tenant gives notice on August 12th that they will be moving out August 31st, the landlord can legally charge them for September rent and set their move out date as September 30th.

Property condition: By law, tenants are required to return the property to the landlord in equal to or greater condition than they found it minus normal wear & tear. This includes lawn care (if tenant responsibility), cleaning the property, have carpets professionally cleaned and fixing any damage caused by the tenants or anyone in their household including pets.

Move out inspection: By law, HPM has 30 days from your move out date to conduct our move out inspection of the property and mail you a deposit disposition summary and deposit refund (if applicable). We do not do walkthrough move in or out inspections with the tenant. The deposit disposition summary will explain in detail in what condition HPM found the property upon taking possession and what expenses if any we had to incur to bring the property back to an equal or greater condition than the tenants found it minus normal wear and tear.

Security deposits: To receive your deposit disposition summary and deposit refund (if applicable) in a timely manner please be sure and leave us a valid forwarding address. If a forwarding address is not provided we will use the existing property address.

Return of keys: Key returns vary from unit to unit. Some keys HPM may have tenants leave them on the kitchen counter and lock the doors behind them when leaving for the final time others we may have them leave the keys in a lockbox. We will inform you of what to do with the keys before leaving the unit for the final time on your vacate date.
