I’m moving out of my room of DUWO University Housing

Will you be moving out of your DUWO University Housing room soon? Take a look at the step-by-step procedure below to see what you need to arrange before you move.

For most DUWO University Housing contracts, the tenancy agreement cannot be terminated prematurely. On your educational institution’s page, under the “Important Conditions” tab, you will find all the information you need about early termination of your rental agreement.

Do you have a contract that you can terminate? Then you can do this via your DUWO account. If you are unsure whether terminating your contract is possible or not, you can check this when you log in to your account.

Step

1

Provide departure date

You have the option of moving out of your DUWO University Housing before the end date stated in your tenancy agreement. You pay rent until the end date of the tenancy agreement. If you leave earlier, let us know promptly via DUWO.nl.

Inspection by caretaker

We inspect your room before your tenancy agreement expires. We will notify you when our inspection visit will take place. You may be present during this inspection, but this is not mandatory. If you leave your room early, make sure you leave everything tidy (see next step).

Leave the house clean and tidy

Thoroughly clean your house before you move out. Do you live with housemates? Then divide the work of cleaning the shared facilities among all of you.

Transfer keys

You must hand in your keys before 10 am on the day of your departure. You can either return them to a DUWO office, or deposit them in the DUWO mailbox - not your own - in your building, if there is one (you can find out more about the DUWO mailbox in My residence).

Please place the keys in an envelope on which you have written your address, or attach an address label to the key(s).
