Move-out Process
We're Sad to See You Go!
We’ve enjoyed having you in on-campus housing and are sad to see our time come to an end. We hope your move-out goes smoothly and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Move-out Steps
Give Notice
To terminate your License Agreement, contact EFH to request an Intent to Vacate Form. Return the form at least 30-days prior to the date you wish to move out . Vacating prior to the end of your license term will result in an early termination fee.
Clean Your Unit
Before moving out, ensure your room/apartment is completely cleaned, free of personal belongings, and all trash has been removed. To avoid unnecessary charges, make sure your apartment is cleaned according to our cleaning guidelines listed below.
Check Out
Bring your keys and parking permits to the Employee and Family Housing Office. During this time we will confirm your forwarding address and contact information.
