The Move-Out Process & Security Deposit Accounting
The tenancy is ending. Now what?
The end of a tenancy is often where landlords face their biggest disputes—and their biggest potential liability. From getting legal possession of the property to completing the security deposit accounting, there are a lot of details to get right.
In this practical, Oregon-focused class, Tia Politi walks you through the move-out process from beginning to end, with a particular focus on ORS 90.300 and security deposit accounting.
You'll learn how to:
Properly handle a tenant's notice to vacate
Understand special move-out protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, bias crimes, and stalking
Provide useful move-out instructions that can reduce disputes
Determine when you have legally regained possession
Recognize and respond appropriately to abandonment
Deal with unlawful occupants after a tenant has left
Thoroughly document the condition of the property after move-out
Compare move-in and move-out documentation to establish damage
Handle abandoned personal property under ORS 90.425
Understand special rules when a sole tenant dies
Safely turn the unit for the next tenancy
Distinguish normal wear and tear from chargeable damage
Account for depreciation when replacing damaged items
Properly calculate and describe charges against the security deposit
Charge for labor, materials, estimates, and loss of use when permitted
Handle designated deposits such as pet, cleaning, carpet-cleaning, and last-month's-rent deposits
Meet Oregon's 31-day security deposit accounting deadline
Prepare a detailed and defensible deposit reconciliation
Understand the consequences of failing to properly account for or return deposit funds
Navigate lease-break fees and other common end-of-tenancy issues
Know when negotiation may be better than taking a dispute to court
We'll also look at practical documentation techniques, including photographs, videos, condition reports, receipts, vendor invoices, and other evidence that can make the difference when a former tenant challenges your charges.
Bottom line: Learn how to finish a tenancy correctly, document your work, charge only what you can lawfully charge, and reduce the likelihood of an expensive deposit dispute.
