Move-Out | Graduate and Family Housing

As you are moving out of your Graduate and Family Housing building, please consider these items before you leave.
Vacating Instructions
You are required to provide Graduate & Family Housing atÌýleastÌý30 days noticeÌýbefore vacating your apartment.ÌýIf a 30-days notice isÌý*Ìýnot given, you will be charged rent for 30 days beginning on the date the Intent to Vacate (ITV)Ìýform is given to our office.ÌýIf you give more than 30 days notice, rent continues until the vacate date stated on the form.Ìý*It is mandatory that you check out no later than the date you have indicated. Your apartment will be rented to another resident according to your vacate date.
Residents who terminate their Lease before the end of the Lease term are responsible for a financial penalty equivalent to one month’s rent or the remaining rent balance for the lease, whichever is less.
If for any reason you must change the date on which you will vacate your apartment or cancel your ITV entirely, there will be a $100 administrative charge.ÌýIf your apartment has already been offered to someone else, you will not be able to change your vacate date or cancel your ITV.
Final Check-Out
Please note:ÌýWe do schedule a preliminary check out at the request of the resident. Final check out is done by staff after you have turned your keys in to the office. You may call our office 10Ìýbusiness days after vacating to inquire about charges that may have been assessed.ÌýRequests for a check-out walk through need to be made in advance.
There are two ways to turn in all of your keys and any parking permits when vacating:
- Bring all of the keysÌýto the office during Graduate & Family HousingÌýoffice hours (Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. -ÌýÌý8 p.m.)
- After hours, put all keys in an envelope and drop it in the secure rent deposit box.ÌýIt is located under the counter in the entryway next to the Graduate & Family Housing office door.
Make sure to lock your door before you turn in your keys. Shortly after you hand in your keys and parking permits, a staff member will check your apartment for damages.
Lease Termination

- Failure to pay rent charges on time.
- Change in family or student status (e.g., residence is over capacity or student is otherwise ineligible for current apartment assignment).
- Violation of the lease.
- Limited lease policy for faculty/staff members.
