Move-Out Process and Claims

Move-Out and Damage Claim Process

At the end of a HOM-assisted tenancy, the landlord must notify HOM of the vacancy and when the landlord has re-taken possession of the dwelling unit. Most of the housing programs operated by HOM provide a process for landlords to make a claim for tenant-caused damages and/or vacancy loss. The following chart represents those options for the programs.

HOM Damage Claim and Vacancy Loss Process

A HOM Inspector will arrange to conduct a move-out inspection of the unit within 48 hours of the landlord’s notification of move-out. Landlords will complete the HOM Security Deposit Disposition & Damage Claim / Vacancy Loss Worksheet and submit to HOM for a final disposition of the security deposit and potential reimbursement for damages and vacancy loss. This form is also available on Forms Central. If a claim is approved, HOM pays the claim directly to the landlord.
