  • Remove all personal belongings. Double-check drawers and closet are empty.
  • Restore your room to its initial move-in condition, including furniture set-up.
  • Take all trash and recycling to outside dumpsters. 
  • 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.
  • Submit 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.

DO NOT:

  • Do not remove nails, screws or command strips from walls.
  • Do not unplug the unit mini-fridge.
  • Do not dispose of large items down the community trash chutes. Take all trash and recycling to outside dumpsters.
