Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) Practice Test

What key detail should be included in a move-out letter?

1. A new lease agreement

2. A detailed account of damages

3. Specific cleaning requirements

4. Information about local schools

The correct answer is: Specific cleaning requirements

A comprehensive move-out letter should include specific cleaning requirements as it provides clear expectations for the tenant regarding the condition in which they should leave the apartment. Including these requirements helps to ensure that the unit is left in a clean and acceptable state, which is important for getting the security deposit back and preparing the apartment for the next tenant. This detail helps tenants understand what is expected of them and can prevent disputes over cleanliness and damage when they move out. Providing specifics also allows for accountability and minimizes confusion. In contrast, while details about damages, lease agreements, and local schools can be helpful information, they do not directly address the immediate responsibilities of the tenant during the move-out process as cleaning requirements do.
