Ready to PCS?

If you will be relocating due to PCS orders or simply moving out of a Atlantic Marine Corps Communities home, the Resident is required to submit in writing a 30-day notice of intent to vacate. The Resident must comply with all Lease requirements including the following:

  • Pay all rent and other amounts due
  • Pay for any damages to the home
  • Complete the full term of your Lease agreement (except in accordance with Lease Agreement paragraphs 27 and 28)
  • Leave your home in the same condition as the time of move-in less normal wear and tear.
  • All house keys and garage door openers must be returned at the time of the move-out inspection.

Atlantic Marine Corps Communities wants to make the moving out process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We understand returning homes to exact move-in condition can be difficult. Spackling small holes, painting all walls white and hiring professional cleaners are no longer required.

Our expectation is designed to ease the move-out for military families and eliminate stressful inspections. The standard implies the home is left clean throughout, including the appliances, fixtures and garage. When a home is cleaned regularly, it should only require a wipe down and sweep/vacuum at move-out. Normal wear and tear is expected. If you choose to paint the interior of your new home, at time of departure, you must paint the interiors of the walls painted with stain killer.

Move Out Process

  • Call your Community Center to give notice of your intention to move at least 30 days prior
  • Our staff will work with you to schedule a move-out date
  • Schedule a Pre Move-out Assessments
  • Schedule a Final Assessment

Normal Wear & Tear

  • Normal wear and tear is the expected deterioration, which occurs, in the normal use of homes. Homes should be used as intended without negligence, carelessness, accident or abuse of the premises by the occupant, members of the household, their pets, invitees or guests. For example, small nail holes are expected. Portions of the drywall should not be exposed.

Move-Out Notice

  • A resident should provide at least thirty-days notice when moving out of privatized housing. Residents whose PCS/ Separation orders are written with less than a thirty-day notice should inform the office as soon as possible upon receipt of orders.

Pre Move-Out Assessment

  • A mandatory pre-assessment of the home is sceduled. A member of the Atlantic Marine Corps Communities staff will conduct the assessment which may identify potential damages or cleaning items that require corrective action prior to the move-out in order to avoid damage charges

Final Assessment

  • Residents are responsible for damages to their home or to equipment and furnishings caused by the abuse or negligence of family members and guests. This includes loss or damage cause by pets. Normal wear and tear is anticipated and acceptable. Please return all keys and provide a forwarding address. We will:
  • Clear the resident if the home is properly cleaned and no payment is due.
  • Provide a list of damage costs to residents if applicable
  • Determine the need for additional estimates for repairs and replacements.
  • Collect any money due prior to departure from Atlantic Marine Corps Communities.
