Here you will find important move-out information e.g. cleaning, inspection, and returning the keys. Thanks for staying with us and good luck with your new accommodation!
Termination
You can terminate your contract on Your pages. The notice period can not be shortened, termination always takes place at the end of a month. This means that if you want to move out at the end of June, you must terminate your contract at the latest on May 31 if you have one month's notice. If you have two months' notice, you must terminate your contract at the latest on April 30.
Book an inspection
When you move out, your home will be inspected by the caretaker. The home must then be empty and move-out cleaned. An inspection takes around 30-60 minutes and we want you to attend. If you choose to attend the inspection, you can correct minor remarks, which may otherwise be charged. Book an inspection well in advance of moving out. Contact your caretaker to book an inspection. Remember that you may not stay in the home after the inspection has been completed.
Move Out Cleaning
Make sure that your move-out cleaning will be approved by cleaning according to the checklist. If the cleaning is not sufficient, we will charge you the cost of fixing this. If you don't have time to (or don't want to) clean yourself, you can hire a cleaning company. On the Swedish Tax Agency's website, there is information on what applies to being entitled to a 50% RUT deduction.
Recycle furniture, electronics and clothes
Do you need to get rid of furniture or electronic waste before you move? Leave it in the bulky waste station. You can leave clothes in the clothing container.
Return all keys on time
All keys relating to your housing should be returned to Service Centre, Tunavägen 39, Lund. Put the keys in an envelope with your name and address and leave them in the mailbox. Envelopes are available on the site.
For the safety and security of our customers, we always change/flex the lock cylinder if at least one apartment key has been lost. The loss of cylinders, keys and tags is always charged to the contract holder. Replacement/flex of an apartment lock cylinder costs 1400 SEK and the loss of a tag costs 200 SEK. If the keys are returned too late, which is later than 12:00 on the official move out date, we will change/flex the apartment lock cylinder and charge the moving-out tenant for this.
Early occupancy
Will you move out earlier and want the next tenant to take occupancy of the accommodation during your period of notice? In order for an earlier move-in to be possible, the following criteria must be met:
- You must have filled in this form "Consent for the
next tenant to move in earlier" and sent it by email to Service Centre from the same email address you have registered on Your Pages.
- The move-out inspection must be carried out and approved (book this with your caretaker).
- You must have returned all the keys to Service Centre.
Bear in mind that you are responsible for everything concerning the rental contract up to and including the last day of the contract period. Any settlement regarding the rent is regulated between you and the next tenant.
Service Centre will inform the next tenant if it is possible to move in earlier.
Make address change
In Sweden, everyone who moves must report the move and register at the new address. The correct address is necessary when you apply for housing allowance and for the mail to arrive. Make a free move application on the Swedish Tax Agency's website, and you will get the correct population registration address.
Terminate electricity contract
If you have your own electricity contract, terminate it well in advance before you move to avoid unnecessary costs.
Transfer of furniture, fittings and equipment in connection with moving
If you have agreed with the next tenant that you will leave some of your furniture or other equipment, you should sign the form Transfer of furniture, fittings and equipment in connection with moving (pdf) and give it to your caretaker before the inspection. If the caretaker does not receive such an agreement and furniture/equipment are left in the apartment at 12:00 on your moving-out date, then the items will be removed and you will be charged for the moving cost.
Moving vehicle
Vehicle traffic is not normally allowed in the housing areas, for everyone’s benefit. During moving in and out, temporary active loading and unloading are permitted. Somebody must be at your vehicle every 10 minutes. Note that parking on fire access roads is always prohibited.
Bicycle
Most of our student housing have their own bicycle rack. Remember to remove your bicycle (and any lock) from the bicycle rack when moving. If you don’t want to keep the bicycle, you can either sell it or give it away, or leave it in the bulky waste station.
Heating
Do not turn the elements off. Let the heat be on for the next tenant.
Rent payment reference
Please remember to print out your contract and an account statement that shows how you have managed your rent payments. Most landlords specifically request this.
