What to collect first
- Signed lease and early-termination clause
- Monthly rent used for the calculation
- Lease expiration date
- Actual possession-return date
- Move-out notice date and proof of delivery
- Any insufficient-notice charge on the ledger
- Any concession or other lease-break amount
- Final resident ledger
- Property-state early-termination and notice rules
The published fee is a starting point, not the whole final balance
Progress currently publishes a default early termination fee equal to two times monthly rent unless the lease states otherwise. The final account can still contain ordinary rent, utilities, move-out charges or other separately supported items. Rebuild each line instead of treating the total as one lease-break fee.
Insufficient notice is a separate timing issue
Progress also publishes an insufficient-notice charge based on the number of notice days missing under its stated default notice framework. Compare the notice deadline and actual delivery date separately from the early termination fee.
Do not confuse a transfer with an ordinary lease break
Progress has a separate approved home-to-home transfer process with its own fee structure. If the resident moved to another Progress home, use the transfer documents rather than assuming the ordinary early-termination fee should apply.

- Fixed early-termination charge.
