If all of the occupants of your household are moving out, send CHC a written Notice to Vacate.

• If you are moving out before the lease ends, contact your Property Manager.
• You must give one full month’s written notice.
• Notice must be received by our office by midnight on the first working day of your move-out month.
• For example, if you are giving notice to move out on April 30, make sure we have your notice by midnight on March 31.
• Notice to Vacate must be signed by all leaseholders and dated. It must also include a forwarding address.
• Your notice can be faxed, mailed or hand-delivered to our office to the attention of your Property Manager.
• We will send a letter to inform you of move out inspection appointments. If you cannot attend either appointment, please contact your Property Manager to arrange for a different date or time.
• A pre-move out inspection may occur to assess the general condition of the property. This allows CHC to schedule contractors.

LEM tenants – For tenants on Fixed-term leases in Low End of Market units, you are not able to end your lease prior to the defined term. If you move out prior to the end of the term you will be responsible for the rent owing for the full extent of the term.

When you give notice to leave your unit, we will make an appointment with an agent of Calgary Housing Company to inspect your unit.

• This is when you will hand over your keys to the agent.
• You should also provide your forwarding address so we can send you the statement of account and contact you to return any security deposit if applicable.
• If a security deposit was collected as per your rental agreement, a statement of account shall be sent within 10 business days of your final inspection.
• All furniture and belongings must be out of your unit and yard prior to your inspection.
• Your unit must be clean and ready for occupancy by the next tenant.
• Use the Cleaning list provided as a guide to help you prepare your unit for move-out and avoid move-out charges.
• If at the time of a move-out inspection items have been left behind, they are considered “abandoned goods” and will result in Tenant Charges.
