Complete these steps for a seamless move

1/7 Request a move-out inspection

Email us at hello@freevillecottages.com and let us know the time you would like your cottage to be inspected. While an inspection is not mandatory, you are welcome to schedule one if you would like a team member to walk through the unit and give you the opportunity to address any cleaning that may have been missed before your departure.

2/7) Clean Your Cottage

Tenants who do not fully follow the cleaning checklist will be charged $50 per hour for cleaning by Freeville Cottage staff.

This cleaning checklist should guide you through the move-out cleaning process.

3/7) DONATE unwanted items via reuse centers

Please donate any unwanted items (mattresses, bulky items, etc) to a reuse center. Finger Lakes ReUse Center (607) 257-9699) will pick up your mattress and other items for a small fee.

4/7) CLOSE YOUR GAS & ELECTRIC ACCOUNTS

Please notify NYSEG at 1-800-572-1111 and/ or Ehrhart Energy at 607-387-8881 to take the meters out of your name as of midnight of the last day of your lease. 

5/7) CANCEL WIFI, CABLE, AND PHONE SERVICE

The new tenant in your cottage won't be able to get Wifi until your account is closed. Please ensure that you contact your internet, cable, and phone provider to terminate your service. This is important for an easy transition for the next tenant. 

6/7) LEAVE your KEYS 

Please leave your door unlocked with the front door and mail box keys on counter.

7/7) GET YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK

Complete this form noting your cottage number and forwarding address so that we can return your security deposit. Our bookkeeper is in on Friday mornings.
