Moving out

Before it's time to leave, we will send you a communication with instructions on our move out procedure and how to book a move out date. It's important that you follow all of the steps and ask us if you have questions.

When you leave, an employee will take back your keys, and to evaluate the condition of the room. Residents are not responsible for normal wear and tear.

Possible charges

You'll see any fees that apply to you in your student account. But don't worry — with a little care, you can easily avoid these charges!

Schedule a move-out time and follow all of the move out instructions to avoid a $100 cost recovery fee. Be ready for your appointment, with packing and cleaning all finished.

Clean out and defrost your fridge to avoid a $75 charge if we have to do it for you.

Leave your room clean and in a sanitary condition to avoid a cleaning fee of $125.

Keep residence furniture and window coverings in good condition, with no major scratches, dents or gouges, so you won't need to pay for repairing damaged items, or replacing missing items. We will also charge you for dismantled or damaged smoke detectors. Please place furniture back to its original position.

 

 

If you leave any large items behind, you'll pay a minimum $75 removal fee.

Replacing a lost key costs $23 per key. 

Residents aren't responsible for normal wear and tear, but damage to walls by tape, stickers, decals or pins could result in charges starting at $250. If we need to repaint, the contractor or Facilities Management will set the cost.

The cost of replacing or repairing missing or damaged window screens is $200.

Please see the cost recovery posters on display in all of our buildings for full cost recovery for details.
