1. Termination of Contract

The master’s contracts are only valid for a maximum of 2 years, and they are terminated in advance.

It is not possible to extend the contract after two years; however, you can terminate the contract with 7 weeks’ notice if you are leaving before your contract expires.

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.

Inspection Notification
You will receive an email from your housing host with information about when the inspection will be done.

• Damage control
  If your apartment is damaged or in case of abnormal wear, you might need to pay for repairs.
• Inventory check
  Before the inspection, please make sure that everything that came with the apartment is there.
  This could include hat racks, curtain rails, etc.
• Furniture
  Please make sure that all the furniture is left in the apartment when you move out.
• Instruction Manuals
  If you were handed instruction manuals when moving in, please leave them for the next tenant.

3. Cleaning

When you have emptied your apartment and handed in your keys, a cleaning inspection is made.
The apartment must be cleaned thoroughly, and all faults must be reported to us.

Cleaning Guide
Please read our cleaning guide, for useful tips when cleaning your apartment.

• Balcony/Storage
  If you have a balcony and/or a storage unit, remember to empty it of your belongings and clean it thoroughly when moving out.
• No Re-Cleaning
  Unfortunately, there is no possibility to go back and clean your apartment if the cleaning inspection is not approved.
• Cleaning service – Vital Städ
  We have a collaboration with Vital Städ. Read more about them and hire Vital Städ here.
