My experience has been that an agency may not take over a debt before the 31st day after move out. Different agencies require different documents. To be safe, have these documents organized and available. Signed lease, rental application, move out statement documenting all charges, and any supporting documents such as receipts. See my blog atwww.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com Good luck!
