When to move out?

You should move out of the room by 8.30 AM on the 1st of the month following your contract end date (when your contract ends on the last day of the month). The reason for this set time is that we need to make sure the cleaners have time to clean the room before the new member moves in. In the scenario that you plan on moving out earlier, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.

Any other day before the 1st of the month: You can leave the room at any hour of the day.

What do you need to do?

For Services Plus:

Please make sure that you have emptied and left in a reasonable state your: 

  1. Private room

  2. Kitchen drawer

  3. Bathroom drawer

  4. Fridge and freezer drawer

  5. Basement storage area you used

What to do with your linen and towels?

Remove your dirty linen and towels and place them on top of the bed. In Copenhagen, place them in the Berendsen/Elis bag.

A few days before (or after) you move out, please remember to deregister your address from the LifeX apartment in order to be sure all your mail will be forwarded to your new address.
