move-out

As you are moving out of your Graduate and Family Housing building, please consider these items before you leave.

Vacating Instructions

You are required to provide Graduate & Family Housing at least 30 days notice before vacating your apartment. If a 30-days notice is * not given, you will be charged rent for 30 days beginning on the date the Intent to Vacate (ITV) form is given to our office. If you give more than 30 days notice, rent continues until the vacate date stated on the form. *It is mandatory that you check out no later than the date you have indicated. Your apartment will be rented to another resident according to your vacate date.

Residents who terminate their Lease before the end of the Lease term are responsible for a financial penalty equivalent to one month鈥檚 rent or the remaining rent balance for the lease, whichever is less.

If for any reason you must change the date on which you will vacate your apartment or cancel your ITV entirely, there will be a $100 administrative charge. If your apartment has already been offered to someone else, you will not be able to change your vacate date or cancel your ITV.

Final Check-Out

Please note: We do schedule a preliminary check out at the request of the resident. Final check out is done by staff after you have turned your keys in to the office. You may call our office 10 business days after vacating to inquire about charges that may have been assessed. Requests for a check-out walk through need to be made in advance.

There are two ways to turn in all of your keys and any parking permits when vacating:

  1. Bring all of the keys to the office during Graduate & Family Housing office hours (Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. -  8 p.m.)
  2. After hours, put all keys in an envelope and drop it in the secure rent deposit box. It is located under the counter in the entryway next to the Graduate & Family Housing office door.

Make sure to lock your door before you turn in your keys. Shortly after you hand in your keys and parking permits, a staff member will check your apartment for damages.

Lease Termination

The most common reasons for the university to terminate a Graduate & Family Housing lease with a resident are:

  • Failure to pay rent charges on time.
  • Change in family or student status (e.g., residence is over capacity or student is otherwise ineligible for current apartment assignment).
  • Violation of the lease.
  • Limited lease policy for baby直播app/staff members.

Conduct Review Committee (CRC)

If, after agreeing to the Graduate & Family Housing Lease Agreement, a resident or occupant is convicted of, found guilty of, or adjudicated to have committed a sex offense; or if a resident or occupant is classified as a sex offender or placed under active supervision by any jurisdiction for a sex offense; the resident or occupant is required to immediately notify the Graduate & Family Housing Office at graduatefamilyhousing@colorado.edu. 

Graduation

All student residents must be full-time, degree-seeking, students in order to qualify to live in Graduate & Family Housing. If you are graduating, you must fill out an Intent to Vacate form 30 days before you move out. Be aware that there are specific dates by which graduates must vacate, and therefore must fill out the Intent to Vacate form 30 days prior to these dates. Failure to do this will result in charges.


Leave of Absence

The University of baby直播app has a Leave of Absence program that provides an opportunity for you to leave the university for a semester without losing your place in your current college/school. You must be in good academic standing and have the dean鈥檚 approval. Re-enrollment in the university is guaranteed when you return.

For Graduate & Family Housing purposes, you may go on the Leave of Absence program for one semester only.

For more specifics, contact the Office of the Registrar at 303-492-8673.
