Moving Out

Residents who do not plan to remain in on-campus housing for the following semester should not renew their contract.

Termination

Residents remain responsible for all applicable deadlines and termination fees outlined in the housing contract.

Current Residents

Current residents checking out before the end of their contract must submit a termination request for the current contract. If the resident has already renewed for the following semester, that future contract must also be terminated. Residents are responsible for scheduling a check-out as part of the termination process. Residents have a maximum of seven days from the date a termination request is submitted to vacate and complete check-out.

Incoming Residents

New residents who have signed a contract, but do not intend to check in, must terminate the future contract.

Scheduling Your Check out

Residents who are not renewing their contract or who are checking out by the end of the contract are required to schedule a check-out.

How to Schedule a Check Out

Contract termination requests must be submitted through the Housing Portal.

1. Log in to the Housing Portal.
2. Click 'Residency' at the top of the page.
3. Navigate to the semester from which the resident intends to check out.
4. Click 'Move Out.'

The next step is dependent on whether the resident will be checking out early or on the scheduled check-out day.

If checking out early (before the scheduled check-out day):
Select the link to the Early Checkout Notification Form under 'Instructions' and complete the form.

If checking out on the scheduled check-out day:
Select 'Step 2: Schedule Move Out' and choose an available move-out time.

Move Out Reminders

• The apartment will be inspected within one business day of check-out, and residents are not required to be present during the inspection.
• All departing occupants must update their mailing address in myBYUH to ensure proper mail forwarding. Instructions are available in the Mail Center page.
• Any broken or non-functioning items must be reported by submitting a work order.

Check Out Standards

A proper check-out includes scheduling a check-out, deep cleaning the assigned living space, removing all personal belongings, and fully vacating the unit. Residents are responsible for damages not previously documented at move-in.

Failure to clean to standard or leaving personal belongings behind will result in charges ranging from $150 to $1,200, calculated at $300 per room, bathroom, kitchen, or living/common area. Confiscated items will be taken to the Residential Living office. A detailed cleaning checklist is available through Housing.

Check Out Procedures

Based on availability, a staff member may not be present at the scheduled time of check-out. However, the apartment will be inspected within one business day, and residents are not required to be present.

By the scheduled check-out time, residents must vacate the apartment and return all non-ID keys to the key box outside the Facilities Management Building or the Housing Office Building. A $20 fee will be charged for each missing key.
