Tate move-in, move-out policy

Moves can cause damage to building floors and finishes; residents must prepare and protect the structure against possible damage when moving in or out. The following regulations were approved by The Tate Homeowners Association at its regular meeting July 23, 2007, costs were clarified on October 1, 2007, and fees were modified on March 21, 2024.

  1. All moves into a unit must be scheduled with Bennett Management Company (BMC) no less than one week in advance of the move. A date and time for the move must be established in order to permit BMC to arrange for the placement and removal of floor, elevator and wall protective coverings.
  1. All moves into a unit shall be assessed a $250 non-refundable move-in charge, collected at closing. The fee is used to reimburse The Tate for the cost for protecting the elevator and/or walls and floors during the move in effort and to cover costs of any wear and tear that typically occurs during a move in or move out effort.
  2. Contact the Tate HOA Board Chair, or the Building Committee Chair to obtain an elevator key and instructions for using it. 
  3. All moves out of a unit must follow the same protocol—one week’s notice to BMC so that the elevator and corridors will be protected—but with no additional charge.
  4. If at any time it becomes necessary to prop open an exterior door, a trusted individual must be stationed by the door to prevent unauthorized entry into the building. Otherwise, all exterior doors must be kept locked.
