Answer: NOOOO… All Deposits are due in full before we will give keys… PERIOD.

Answer: YES. Upon completion final walk-through if all obligations and terms of the contract have been completed and the home is in the same condition it was in when rented minus wear and tear. We will also verify final utility bills have been paid.
