Guest Researcher move out | Chalmers Studentbostäder (EN)

When you’re moving out, there’s a lot to think about, so we’ve gathered all the information, step by step, you need on this page! If you have more questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us and we will help you.

1. Termination of tenancy contract

Termination of all contracts is in principle determined upon signing. It is possible to terminate a contract before the final date of the contract. Termination must be in writing or via email and must be submitted by the primary tenant, i.e. the institution ISMO at Chalmers. The period of notice is three calendar months. If you want to terminate your contract you need to contact Chalmers, institution ISMO at ismo.stodet@chalmers.se

Moving out must take place no later than 10.00 on the first working day after the turn of the month. All keys must be handed in at our Customer Service Office. The apartment must be cleaned thoroughly, and all faults must be reported to Chalmers Studentbostäder. If extra expenses are incurred in connection with moving out, the department will be charged for this.

Example: If a tenancy contract is terminated in May the period of notice will run until 31 August. The tenant is required to move out by 10.00 at the latest on the first working day in September.

2. Technical inspection

Before you move out, an inspection of your apartment will be done to check for damage and that everything that should be in the apartment is there. You will receive an e-mail from your housing host when the inspection will be made. If your apartment is damaged or in the case of abnormal wear, you might need to pay for repairing it.

Before the inspection, please make sure that everything that came with the apartment is there. This could be hat racks, curtain rails, etc. If you wear handed instruction manuals when moving in, please leave them for the next tenant. If you rented an apartment that is furnished, please make sure that all the furnishes are there when you move out.

3. Cleaning

When you have emptied your apartment and handed in your keys, a cleaning inspection will be made. Please read our moving out guide, which will help you when cleaning your apartment. If you have a balcony and/or a storage unit, remember to empty it of your belongings and clear it thoroughly when moving out. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to go back and clean your apartment if the cleaning inspection is not approved.

We have a corporation with the cleaning company Vital Städ, you can read more about this and hire Vital Städ here. If you choose to hire Vital Städ, they will clean your apartment properly and the cleaning inspection will be approved.

4. Handing back the keys

All keys given to you when moving in must be handed back to our Customer Service Office. Your keys must be handed in at 10.00 am the first weekday the month after your contract ends. If your last day is on a weekend or bank holiday the keys must be handed in the next weekday by 10 am at the latest.

Example: If your contract ends 31st of March you need to hand in the keys latest by 1st of April by 10 am, since April 1st is on a weekday (2020-04-01). You are free to hand in the keys earlier if you want to. If we are closed you can put the keys in the key deposit on the door at Chalmers Studentbostäder Customer Service.
