Moving? Don't Let The Landlord Keep Your Security Deposit!

Hey Oregonians, moving to a new pad? Great, hopefully you're next journey in life will be a memory worth cherishing!

If you rented, the security deposit you put down in the place you're moving out of can be useful when moving into your new place. Having those additional funds available will definitely allow your departure to be smoother.

Unfortunately though, many lose out on the money that's actually theirs for simply not cleaning out the rental of their junk. Landlords have the legal right to keep your security deposit if you fail to satisfy their move out checklist.

So many procrastinate to the last minute when it comes to planning their move. Understandably too. Moving is stressful!

What really becomes overwhelming is once you've jammed your moving vehicle to the brim and yet you still have a garage or bedroom full of stuff. Maybe more.

Some of it could possibly be sold but you simply DON'T have the time! You're expected to be out in a few days and your friends suddenly become "busy."

You panic and decide to leave, knowing you'll lose the security deposit. How much was it? Over a thousand? Ouch! You could of easily got that deposit back if you would've cleared the house out of the debris.

You may justify it in your head by telling yourself, "oh well, I just didn't have the time." In reality, you could've called a junk removal service to clean it up.

The service isn't necessarily cheap, most jobs average around $300 in the Eugene area but if it means getting a $1,000+ security deposit back then its money well spent?

If you're eco conscious you'll be relieved to know most hauling services will do their best to donate and/or recycle as much of your junk as possible.

Junk Munkiez Vision

By now, many Eugene and Springfield, Oregon residents are beginning to understand who we are and what we do. We've been hauling customers' junk to donation, recycling, and to the Lane county dump facilities since June of 2016. We started out very small. We only had one old 1998 Penske moving box van. That had been bought and used by other companies and eventually to a private owner. We bought it from a lady that lived in a tiny town just a few miles North East of Lincoln City called Otis, Oregon. We found her listing on Craigslist and payed her $2,100 to take it off her hands. It wasn't in the best of shape, it had over 297,000 miles, and had some repairs it needed before it was street legal. After spending about $800 to get it up to par we were excited to get to work! Only problem, no one knew who we were! With no experience in business management, marketing, and everything else in between we struggled to find work in the beginning. The Hatcher brothers and Derek...
