All residents complete the move-out damage + cleaning responsibility form prior to move-out.

  • Wipe down all surfaces, including furniture and walls.
  • Vacuum and sweep the floor, including under the bed.
  • Leave your drawers and closet doors open in preparation for your RA/CA inspection.
  • Enter a service request on the Housing Portal for any outstanding maintenance or repair needs in your unit before your check-out appointment. Please note that service requests cannot be submitted to clean your unit.
