1. Terminate Your
Tenancy Contract
Log in to My Pages under the “Contract” tab to
terminate your lease. There, you can select your
moving-out date from our calendar.
- Move-outs typically happen on Tuesdays,
except for public holidays or when the
number of move-outs for that week is
already full. - The notice period is at least seven (7) weeks.
- If you are moving to another apartment within
Chalmers Studentbostäder, the notice period
is at least four (4) weeks, and we will manage
the termination. - If you want to move out by the turn of a month,
the notice period is at least three (3) calendar
months.
Confirmation
After submitting your termination, you will receive
an email confirmation within 14 days.
- Master’s or Short-Term Contracts always
have at least seven (7) weeks notice.

My Pages. - Gueast reseachers in reaseach apartments

If your maximum tenancy period of six years is
coming to an end, and you are not planning
a PhD, make sure to terminate your lease.
2. Change of Address
When you move out you will need to change your
address at the Tax Office “Skatteverket”, which is
easily done on their webpage. To receive your mail
to your new address, please change your address
a couple of weeks before you move.

You can report a change of address by using the e-service
with your Mobile Bank-id, or by using the form
“Flyttning inom Sverige (SKV 7845)”.

3. Want to Move Out Earlier?
Early Move-Out Options
It may be possible to move out earlier if the new tenant agrees.
- We can forward your request to the next tenant, but
according to **GDPR**, we cannot share their contact
details without consent. - Alternatively, you can ask the new tenant yourself
during the apartment showing.
Apply to Move Out Earlier
- You are renting a Masters apartment, Have a short term
contract or Research apartment through Chalmers. - If the apartment is scheduled for renovation or if your
move-out coincides with a major holiday.
5. Move-Out Inspection
Inspection Before You Leave
An inspection will be made before you move out to check for
wear, damages, and to ensure that all apartment equipment
is intact.
- You will receive an email with the inspection date a few
weeks after terminating your lease. - Any damages or unusual wear may result in financial
compensation.
- All equipment belonging to the apartment, such as
hat racks or curtain rods, must remain in place. - If you have user manuals or maintenance guides,
leave them for the next tenant. - For furnished apartments, make sure all furniture
provided at move-in is still there at move-out.
4. Apartment Viewing
Your Responsibility
According to **The Tenancy Act**, you are obligated to
allow prospective tenants to view your apartment.
This can be done through photos, videos, or in-person
showings. The new tenant will contact you to arrange
the viewing.
Exception – If you have a Masters- or shor term
contract, you do not need to showcase the apartment.
6. Furniture and
Equipment Transfer
If the new tenant wants to take over furniture or
other items, fill out the form and submit it to us.

with whom we cooperate. They guarantee a
thorough clean approved during inspection.
