Move-Out Reminders
Move-out can feel fast-paced and overwhelming. Your encouragement and reminders can help your student avoid unnecessary charges and reduce stress.
Please encourage your student to:
Leave Their Space Empty & Clean
- Fully clean their room before departure
- Remove and dispose of all belongings
- Use designated garbage, recycling, and donation areas in their community
Anything left behind will be donated or removed after closing, and charges may apply.
Check Shared Spaces
- Laundry rooms
- Community kitchens
- Shared bathroom counters
Prepare Appliances & Keys
- Clear and defrost refrigerators (if applicable)
- Locate and prepare keys for return
Planning ahead—even a few days in advance—can make the checkout process much smoother.
