Moving In & Out

Moving In August 2nd

Pay rent before move-in
Our leases start at noon on August 2nd.  Rent is due by August 1st, even if you’re moving in later than the 2nd.  You can pay it online through your tenant portal or if you prefer, mail it to:

Sadler Company
2525 Arapahoe Ave #E4-265
Boulder, CO 80302

You can also drop off payments at our mailbox inside PAKMAIL. If paying with physical payments, please be sure your Sadler address & unit appears on it somewhere to insure proper credit. If you have any deposit payments due, please make sure they are paid by the due date.

Move-in begins at NOON on August 2
As long as first month's rent and any deposits due have been paid, we will unlock your place at noon on August 2nd when the lease officially starts.  You will find keys and a welcome packet on the kitchen counter. You will not need to meet with a Sadler representative. 

Moving in after August 2
If you plan to move in later than August 2, please let us know so that we can keep the place locked until you arrive. Make sure to specify the time and date of your arrival.  We are not in the office on weekends, but can arrange for your apartment to be opened for you if we know in advance.

Welcome Packet
Your Welcome Packet includes a copy of your lease, some helpful info about move-in, and a blank Damage List form.  Please complete the Damage List and return it to us within a week of your move-in. Use this list to let us know about any maintenance needed in your apartment, or to make note of any existing damages that you don't want to be responsible for when you move out. If you see any safety or security issues, call those into maintenance immediately at (303) 380-0203 and press the ‘0’ key for an emergency.

Cleaning
If you notice any cleaning that was missed, call our office at (303) 447-8500 right away. We are always happy to send cleaners back if they missed something. We also have the option to pay you to finish the cleaning, but we need to discuss the amount of cleaning needed prior to any work being done. Any cleaning fees will come from the previous tenants' deposits at this point.

Getting in touch with us
Moving can be a hectic, stressful process, but we hope to make it as smooth as possible. If you have a question during your move-in, we’re happy to help, but may not be able to answer your call as it's our busiest time of year. If you get voicemail, please leave a detailed message including your name and Sadler address/unit and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Moving Out July 30

Your lease will end at NOON on JULY 30th (not July 31st). Our deposits do not include last month's rent, so you will need to pay July rent.

Please plan ahead! In our experience moving/cleaning usually take longer than expected. If you’re not moved out on time, you could owe extra money for rent/utilities, check out fees, or temporary storage/housing for the new residents if their move in is delayed due to your hold-over. This can get very expensive!

Deposit Returns
Per your lease, we have to return deposits within 60 days.  You can help get yours sooner by doing all the necessary cleaning and moving your things out by noon on July 30th. If we have to do any of this for you, it can delay your return.

Please remember, per your lease, we have to return deposits as one check made out to everyone on the lease, unless we get written instructions SIGNED BY ALL stating how to split it up.  We are happy to email the final accounting of deposit charges before sending the check, so you can get us your split instructions to have separate checks sent.  Just let us know so we can note your account. You can find our sample deposit split letter HERE.  We will also need your new address to mail the check(s).

Cleaning

Carpets
The carpet cleaning should be the last thing done in the apartment, after you've moved all your stuff out and done the rest of the move out cleaning.  For properties with four or more apartments, we will arrange carpet cleaning, and deduct the cost from your deposit. 

Properties with less than four apartments must arrange their own carpet cleaning with a company that offers “TRUCK-MOUNTED STEAM CLEANING”.  You can use any company you’d like, but if you go with Big “M” Janitorial at (303) 449-2240, the bill can be sent to us and deducted from your deposit.  If you use another company, please get us a copy of the receipt as proof it was done. 

DO NOT use a rental machine from the hardware/grocery store.

Kitchen
Please clean the oven, stove top, exhaust hood/fan, burner pans (replace if pans won’t come clean), inside/outside and top of refrigerator and freezer, inside/outside and top of cabinets and drawers, counter tops, sink, sweep and wash floors (under the cabinets, and in corners too).  Please leave the fridge on and plugged in!

Bathrooms
Please clean the inside/outside and all around the base of the toilet, tub/shower, tiles, bleach any mildew off walls and ceiling, sweep and wash floors (including around the base and behind the toilet).

Walls, doors and surfaces
Please clean any smudges, stains, fingerprints or graffiti from the walls/doors, switch plates, and wipe/clean off the baseboards (including baseboard heaters).  Clean ALL surfaces that have collected dust including shelves, window sills, woodwork/trim, ceiling fans, light fixtures, etc.  Remove all cobwebs (LOOK UP INTO CORNERS).  Anything you’ve painted an off color needs to be painted back to our color (Sherwin William’s Antique White semi-gloss. Contact office for more information about painting).

Windows
Are any windows broken?  If so, call a window company now to have them replaced at your expense.  You can use any company you’d like. We typically use Slade Glass at (303) 442-3662.

Screens & blinds
Please make sure all the mini-blinds and screens are intact, in working order, and put back up if taken down. If you’d like to replace any blinds you’ve broken, please call our office to find out what type to buy.  If we have to replace blinds, you’ll owe us for the cost of the blinds, plus our time.

Trash
Please take all your trash, unwanted items/furniture to your dumpster or trash cans.  Anything left in the unit or yard will have to be hauled to the trash area and disposed of at your expense.

Lights
Please replace any burnt-out/missing light bulbs, and any broken or missing light fixtures/globes.  Clean/wipe off any dust on the fixtures.

Smoke & Carbon Monoxide alarms
Please test the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to make sure they are functioning properly, and replace any dead batteries. Also be sure to put them back in their original location if you have moved them.

Yard/porch/deck
Please remove all trash and dog waste from the yard, and sweep/mop/hose off porch as needed. If you had a satellite dish installed, remove it and patch any holes.

Keys
Please leave your keys on the kitchen counter, and lock the door when you leave. DO NOT give the apartment or keys to the new tenants without our okay. If we have to make any copies, you'll owe us for the cost of the key plus our time.
