What if I move-out mid-lease and want my deposit back?
If you move-out mid-lease and you are subletting to someone else or your roommates are taking over the lease, here's how you can get your deposit returned before the end of your lease.
- Find your replacement: Figure out who will be responsible for the deposit now that you are moving out.
- Email Whale support: Let Whale know who will be taking over the deposit. Send their full name, email, and address to support@gowhale.com so Whale can send them a deposit request.
- Replacement completes the deposit: Once the person taking responsibility for the deposit funds the deposit in their Whale account, Whale will unlock your deposit. The new person will now be responsible for the deposit.
