Will you get the damage deposit back on your Winnipeg apartment?

Have you ever moved out of a Winnipeg apartment and expected to receive your damage deposit refunded to you in full, but didn’t?

Globe General Agencies wants to educate all current and future tenants on ways to increase your chances of getting your damage deposit returned to you in full.

When moving into Winnipeg apartments one of the first things you will do is complete a Move In Unit Condition Report.  Always make sure you are present for the walk through and are aware of the condition of the unit.

Make sure to review the completed Unit Condition Report and ask questions if you are unsure.  It is always important to be aware of what you are signing.

During your tenancy make sure to treat the apartment like your home.  Less damage during your tenancy in your increases your chances of getting your damage deposit refunded to you.

When you have decided to end your tenancy, Globe General Agencies will provide all tenants with a move out cleaning guideline.  Review the apartment cleaning guidelines and complete the tasks listed, which can include items such as professionally cleaning the carpets, washing all the walls, cleaning the bathroom etc.

When the cleaning has been completed you will complete a Move Out Unit Condition Report.  It is very important that you be present for the walk through.  Review the completed form, and again, be aware of what you are signing.

Make sure to give a forwarding address. With no forwarding address Globe General Agencies will be unaware of where to send your refund. Also, always make sure your rent is paid in full. Any outstanding rent upon move out is deducted from your damage deposit.

Following the simple steps listed above will increase your chances of receiving a full refund of your damage deposit on your apartment in Winnipeg.
