Move-Out Instructions

MOVE-OUT INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Start Packing – Consider bringing home items over the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend (May 23- 26). Pack items you won’t be using between now and when you check out. Don’t wait until the last  minute to pack!.  
  2. Clean You are responsible for leaving your living space clean. If you have apartment mates/suitemates, we recommend you discuss cleaning responsibilities. Also discuss who will be responsible  for any damages that may be in your space. If damages and cleaning charges are found,  the charge(s) will be split among all residents if no one takes responsibility. Make sure everyone cleans all common areas before leaving, EVERY one in the space will be charged for excessive trash and damages, regardless of who left first/last. 
  3. Pack, Recycle and Donate Bring your trash and recyclables to the dumpsters along the cul-de-sacs on Justice and Equality lanes. Please place inside the dumpster.  
  • Donate your gently used items you no longer want (clothing, housewares, appliances, bicycles, etc.) to the VTS bins found throughout the complex. Donations will benefit Veterans Thrift Store (VTS–formerly called DAV). 
  • Non-Perishable Food Donations: Don’t want to lug all your groceries home? Don’t throw  them away! Please donate your unopened non-perishable food packages and cans at the  Yellow collection containers located at Earl’s Place in the Canyon Vista  Marketplace. Donations will benefit the Triton Food Pantry. Donations will be accepted June 3-14. 
  • Return all green OXXO recyclable food containers, red plastic baskets and dishware to the  Canyon Vista Marketplace. Please do not throw them away.
  1. Double check that you have removed all of your belongings. Check all drawers and  cabinets. There is a $45.00 minimum charge for items needing removal (including trash, food, and any  items left in refrigerators, cabinets, in storage closets, on balconies, etc.). 
  2. Check your mailbox before you leave - Mail will be forwarded for up to 60 days to the  permanent address you have listed on Triton Link. Forwarding will only be done for U.S. addresses. Please come to the Warren Residential Life Office if you need your mailbox  combination (bring your ID). 
  3. Complete the Express Check- Out online form as you leave –  this is a web-based link you can use on your phone to let us know when you vacate your unit. This link will be available soon. When your belongings are moved out and you are ready to return your key,  
    1. Go to the Housing Portal on the Undergrad Housing website, log in, and click  on the “Express Check Out link.” It should take less than a minute to complete  your check out time. Please only check out when you are completely out of your space. 
    2. Based on your 2024-25 Housing contract, Section 11: If you do not follow the Express Check Out process (see immediately above “Complete the Express Check-Out online”) for your housing community, you will be charged the daily rate of your space (room only, no dining) until you complete the express check out process. Depending on your facility and room type, the fee may range from $49.20 (Residence Hall triple) to $57.90 (Apartment single) per day. 
  1. Return your bedroom key to the Warren Residential Life Office (as you leave). The office is located above the Canyon Vista Marketplace in the Canyon Vista Admin  Building. Complete a key return envelope on the table outside of the office and drop  off your bedroom key at the 24-hour drop off slot (just to the left of the main doors of  the Residential Life Office). Instructions will be posted at this location. Please turn in  your key once you are completely out of your space (not before). If you have lost your  key, please write “lost” on your key return envelope. If you have lost or misplaced your  bedroom key, you will be billed $65.00 on your student account.

CLEANING AND DAMAGE RESPONSIBILITY - As stated in your Housing Contract, you  are financially responsible for cleaning and any damage to your bedroom, common  areas and furnishings.
