- Your lease is ending or has been terminated
Lease is terminated
When your lease ends, your landlord initiates the move-out process in LeaseBase. A MOVE_OUT condition report workflow is created automatically to document the unit’s condition.
Move-out condition report
A condition report documents the state of each room in your unit with photos and notes. Your landlord submits the report for your review through the portal.
Review and co-sign or dispute
You can review the condition report, co-sign if you agree with the findings, or dispute specific items if you disagree. Disputed items are flagged for your landlord to revise and resubmit.
Security deposit return
California law requires your deposit to be returned within 21 days. LeaseBase creates automatic deadline reminders for your landlord at 14, 7, 3, and 1 day before the deadline to keep the process on track.
Common questions
How long does my landlord have to return my deposit?
21 days under California Civil Code 1950.5. LeaseBase tracks this deadline automatically and sends your landlord reminders leading up to it.
What if I disagree with the condition report?
You can dispute specific items in the report. Your landlord is notified and can revise and resubmit with corrections. The dispute history is tracked for both parties.
Do I still have portal access after moving out?
Your portal access continues for a period after move-out so you can access your records, payment history, and move-out documentation.
