When a move-out inspection and bills post in AppFolio for [UNIT], note the security deposit deadline for our state. Apply the invoices and fees to the deposit on hand, draft the itemized deduction letter to the forwarding address, and lay out the inspection photos 6 per page with labels. Send me the letter to check before anyone mails it. After it's mailed, set a 30-day payment reminder, prep a collections package (lease, ledger, invoices, tenant messages) and log every step in AppFolio.

Replace [BRACKETS] with your details. {{double braces}} are fields your automation tool fills in.
