Staff move-in and move-out checklists
To ensure that your resident move-ins and move-outs go smoothly and that Ambient continues to run during unit turnover, we recommend that you follow the steps in these checklists.
Important: Please review and customize these steps for your community. Steps may vary based on a unit's device configuration and your community policies.
