       incurred when a house is vacated in a condition unfit for re-occupancy.

       Deficiency and Non-Standard Alterations form.  This form is included in the package
       and must be returned to the office within 30 days of move in.  Failure to return this
       form to the office will result in accepting the last move out inspection done by the
