Moving Out

Last updated: June 21, 2024

What happens when my lease ends?

At the end of your lease, your landlord notifies Whale of any move-out charges (e.g. damages, missed rent, etc.) and that amount is deducted from your deposit. The remaining balance will be made available to you immediately in your Whale account. No more waiting for checks in the mail!

After moving out, we recommend keeping your money in your Whale account unless you need it as you will continue earning interest for as long as you have money in your account.

What if I dispute move-out charges from my landlord?

Any disagreements regarding damages or other move out charges incurred during the lease period will be resolved directly between you and your landlord, per the rental agreement. There is no process within Whale to litigate these disputes.

Can I keep my money in Whale after moving out?

Yes! In fact, we highly recommend keeping your money in your account so it continues earn interest and grow. You can always withdraw it if you need it.
