One of the perks about living in LifeX apartments is that you are not bound to one apartment or city. If you have seen a room or apartment that sparks your interest, then you can easily request a 'member move' with us.
Am I eligible to member move?
Copenhagen, Oslo & Paris
Members must complete at least 2 months of their current stay under their current contract before they are eligible to move to a different apartment.
Berlin, Munich & Hamburg
Members must fulfill the minimum stay requirement for their current apartment before moving. This minimum stay is either 3 or 6 months, depending on the specific apartment.
Upon moving to a new apartment, the minimum stay period (3 or 6 months) will reset and must be completed again in the new apartment.
*Please read through your contract or reach out in the app if you are unsure about your minimum stay.*
How do I know which rooms are available?
Browse vacant rooms in the group titled 'Rooms in City Name' under the community tab in the app.
You can also see availabilities on our website.
When can I move?
You can move to a new room on the 1st or 15th of the following month, but we require 7 days notice in order make the necessary arrangements for your member-move.
How does it work?
Reach out to us through the chat in the app. Let us know which room, from when, and what the reason for your request is. We will share some details about the member move, and reserve it internally for one day in case you have questions. Then we can proceed to send a contract.
Be aware, as soon as we send a new contract, this immediately terminates your current stay and puts your room for sale online.Sign a new contract for the room. Please note the contract needs to be signed with 24 hours of the receipt to ensure the room is secured for you. If the contract is not signed, the contract will default and the room will be put back up on the website.
Receive the key to your new apartment (our operations team will reach out to you to coordinate this the week before your moving day).
Move out of your old room by 8.30 AM on the day of your new contract start date so the cleaners can prepare the room for new members. Leave the key in your room, and follow instructions received by email to collect the keys for your new home.
You can move into your new room after 3 PM on the contract start date. You are more than welcome to leave your personal belongings in the common area of the new apartment from 8.30 AM - 3 PM, while your room will be cleaned.
Enjoy your new home, get to know your new housemates, and have a welcome dinner!
a. Move to another room in your current apartment
🛏️ You will get a new contract from either the 1st or 15th of the month that you want to move over - your rent will be automatically adjusted accordingly on your next invoice, as will the difference in prepaid rent. Your deposit will simply be held. The minimum stay is not renewed because you're staying in the same apartment.
b. Move to another apartment
🏠 You will get a new contract from either the 1st or 15th of the month that you want to move over - your rent will be automatically adjusted accordingly on your next invoice, as will the difference in prepaid rent. Your deposit will simply be held. The minimum stay is renewed.
c. Move in with your partner
👩❤️👨 If you want to have your partner move with you, the room has to be a couple's room. If you already are in a couple's room, we can add your partner to your contract. Minimum stay is not renewed if you stay in the same apartment, but it will be if you move into a couples room in another apartment.
What about the rent, prepaid rent, and my deposit?
When you have signed a new contract, the difference in rent (including if you are moving mid-month) will be automatically calculated and reflected on your first invoice for your new room, as will the difference in prepaid rent (if this applies).
Your current deposit will automatically be allocated in our system to your new room, so we do not refund your deposit, and you do NOT need to pay the deposit once more.
Please note, your contract will still outline the usual deposit amount, as your new contract must also indicate that there is a deposit tied to this contract. Again, this does not mean you will need to pay it again.
Fees for booking changes
If you wish to switch to a different room after signing the contract for your new room, or to cancel your member move before the contract start date, the first charge will be 150 DKK/20 EUR/ GBP 20 / 200 NOK. Any other change will incur a fee of 350 DKK/50 EUR/ GBP 50 / 500 NOK.
