What Do I Have to Do to Move Out?
A 30-day written notice is required in advance of your moving out. The Notice of Intent to Vacate form is available on line at the My Housing web site. The notice is effective from the day Housing Services receives it and may not be cancelled or changed.
A required pre-inspection of your apartment will be performed by Facilities Management within 72 hours of receipt of your NITV. The purpose of the pre-inspection is to allow Facilities to assess the condition of the apartment. If damages are noted, you will be able to correct any items before your vacate date. You do not need to be present during this inspection. Due to scheduling constraints, Facilities is unable to accommodate specific appointment times.
How Do I Avoid Paying Additional Fees?
To avoid additional fees, move out on time and turn in your keycard(s), mailbox key, garage door opener, and parking hangtag to our office at 3200 Sawtelle on or before your move-out date. Charges will be assessed if your keys are not returned by 8 a.m. on your move-out date. A 24-hour drop slot, located on the lower right hand corner of the 3200 Sawtelle office door is available to return keys after hours.
Your initial payment was applied toward your first month's rent. Your account must be current when you move out. Please contact Housing Services using the Ask Housing web site or by calling (310) 206-7011 during their business hours if you have questions about your housing account.
