Your lease was probably the standard TAA lease. Here's what it looks like:

When it's time to leave, all you have to do is pack up and leave. Write a letter to the apartment complex 30 days before you move out and tell them (1) that you're planning to move out because your lease is up and (2) where you want the rent deposit refund sent (new address).

The apartment complex will probably keep your rent deposit, but they probably would have done that anyway.
