One of the perks of living in a LifeX apartment is the freedom to move between rooms, apartments, or even cities. If you see a room or apartment that sparks your interest, you can easily request a member move.
🔹 Am I Eligible to Member Move?
For Copenhagen, Oslo & Paris:
Eligibility: You must have completed at least 2 months of your current stay under your existing contract.
For Berlin, Munich & Hamburg:
Eligibility: You must fullfill the minimum stay requirement for your current apartment (either 3 or 6 months, depending on the specific arrangement).
Note: Upon moving to a new apartment, the minimum stay period (3 or 6 months) will reset and must be completed again.
Please review your contract or contact us in the app if you’re unsure about your minimum stay.
🔎 How Do I Know Which Rooms Are Available?
In the App: Browse vacant rooms in the group titled "Rooms in [City Name]" under the community tab.
Online: Check our website for up-to-date availabilities.
⏳ When Can I Move?
Move Dates: You can move on the 1st or 15th of the following month.
Notice Period: A 7-day notice is required so we can arrange your member move and coordinate housekeeping.
🔄 How Does a Member Move Work?
Reach Out:
Contact us via the chat in the app.
Tell us which room you’re interested in, your desired move-in date, and the reason for your request.
Reservation & Contract:
We will provide details about the move and temporarily reserve the room for one day while you ask questions.
Once you decide to proceed, we send you a new contract.
Important: As soon as the new contract is sent, your current stay is terminated and your current room goes online for sale.
You must sign the new contract within 24 hours to secure the room.
Key Collection & Move-Out:
New Apartment: Receive the key to your new apartment after signing the contract.
Old Apartment:
Move out by 8:30 AM on the day your new contract starts, so our cleaners have time to prepare the room for new members.
Leave your key in your old room and follow the emailed instructions to collect keys for your new home.
Move-In Day:
You can move into your new room after 3 PM on the contract start date.
From 8:30 AM to 3 PM, feel free to store your personal belongings in the common area while your new room is cleaned.
Enjoy Your New Home:
Settle in, get to know your new housemates, and enjoy a welcome dinner!

💰 Rent, Prepaid Rent, and Deposit
When you sign a new contract, any difference in rent (even for mid-month moves) and the prepaid rent will be automatically calculated and reflected on your first invoice for the new room.
Your current deposit is automatically allocated to your new room, so you will not be asked to pay the deposit again.
Note: Your new contract will still mention a deposit requirement, but this is a formality.

Before Contract Start:
If you switch to a different room after signing the new contract or cancel your member move before the new contract starts, the first change fee is 150 DKK / 20 EUR / 200 NOK.
Subsequent Changes:
Any additional changes will incur a fee of 350 DKK / 50 EUR / 500 NOK.
