Moving Out

Approvals are subject to availability and authorization, by the Director of Housing Services.

See Inspection Checklist 

See UofL Recommended Cleaning Supplies

Plan ahead as vacuums are a scarce commodity. If incomplete, you will incur additional expenses; See Damage Repair and Charge-Back Pricing.

Do Not attempt to make your own repairs to walls, etc. This may result in additional costs to you.

Sit down with your roommate(s) and have a conversation about your exam schedule and when you plan to move-out. Write down who will complete each item from the checklist and post it in the common area. Ensure you maintain communication through final exams, especially prior to each person moving out, to ensure that all the cleaning that was agreed to has been completed.

Take photos of the unit when each person moves out. This way, should a dispute arise or a roommate moves out and leaves a mess, there is evidence of the cleaning that was completed and the state of the unit at that time.

Please remember: if we are forced to charge for cleaning, replacement parts, damage or labour, a $10.00 administration fee will also be assessed to recover office and processing expenses. See Damage Repair Charge-Back Pricing.

Ensure all personal belongings are removed. Be sure to check all storage areas in your suites.

Late key return is considered a late move-out. Late keys will incur $100 fee for the first night and a daily intersession fee for the following days (equivalent to daily rate for your room).

Do not leave your key in your room, and do not give it to anyone else to return for you.
