Move-in Checklist
At Rental Link Property Management, we want our residents to experience a smooth transition during their move out. We understand how stressful this time can be, so we have provided clear instructions to outline a proper move out procedure and minimize any potential confusion. Please read through these instructions carefully and contact our office at (239) 437-1800 or (941) 388-7464 with any questions you may have.

Your first month's rent check and security deposit are both due at the lease signing. Please confirm the amounts with our team.
We'll provide all information about the move-in process at the lease signing; we'll also provide an inventory for you to complete.
All utility accounts need to be placed in your name following the lease signing. Please do this as quickly as possible to ensure you don't lose access to utilities in your property.
