Student Family Housing
Please note that all Student Family Housing residents at 30 and 35 Charles Street West and in the Huron-Sussex units are required to submit 60 days Notice to Vacate by the last day of any month.
Example: If you would like to vacate May 31st, your Notice to Vacate (signed by all lease holders) must be submitted to the Residence Office by March 31st.
submitting notice to vacate policy
We are unable to accept Notices to Vacate after the deadline. You are legally and financially obligated to pay rent to cover the full time period following submitting notice. For example, if you submit your notice to vacate on June 2, 2020, it has to be for a move out date of August 31, 2020 because it was submitted after May 31.
Please refer to the below chart to determine when you need to submit your notice to vacate by.

The Notice to Vacate forms are available online and at the Residence Office at 35 Charles Street West.
If you are no longer a student, and your partner does not meet the eligibility criteria, you must vacate your apartment and follow the procedure outlined above. University Family Housing verifies the student status of residents regularly.
Move-Out Inspections
Prior to your move out, the Residence Office will conduct an inspection of the unit. Residents are encouraged to be present during the inspection. A copy of the move-out inspection report will be given to you. In the case of damage or neglect, the residents will have an opportunity to rectify the situation otherwise a fee will be applied to the primary tenant’s student account. If the resident fails to pay said fine, the University has the option to place a hold on the account, which can impact graduation requests or the ability to re-register.
Guidelines
A move-out inspection will be carried out prior to the date you vacate your apartment, and again after you move out. According to the terms of the lease, your apartment must be left in “clean and good condition”:
- Floors should be swept and mopped;
- The kitchen should be cleaned to remove grease and food from cabinets, shelves, counters, sink, and faucets;
- Garbage must be disposed of properly — drop bags down the garbage chutes or bring large items down to the bins located on the ground floor of each building. Do not leave anything in the hallways, common areas, or garbage chute room;
- Refrigerator needs to be cleaned inside and out. The freezer must be defrosted to remove ice buildup. Do not use any objects to break or pry off the ice. If the freezer unit of your refrigerator is damaged by puncturing the unit with a sharp object while defrosting, you will be charged for repairs;
- Stove / Oven – outside and inside must be clean and free of grease; use a stove and oven cleaner;
- Bathroom walls, toilet (inside and out), sink, fan, and floor must be clean.
