Prepare your departure

When you have left your room or plan your check out - Please make sure to leave your room empty and follow the departure instructions we share here in the App. Your caretaker will share more detailed information for your building a few weeks before the end of lease.

Early departure weeks before your end of lease date?

Please inform you caretaker via e-mail.

About 6 weeks before the end of your lease you will receive a notification to report your (planned) departure date/check out date via your keyless account, to update your caretaker (and RA's) when you will be leaving. This is a necessary step in the departure proces to share!

Early deposit refund

After you have departured your room, we will have the room checked, cleaned and prepared for the new semester. And access to the room is no longer possible for tenant and keyfriends. Deposit will be processed as soon as possible.

In what state should you leave your room/apartment?

All personal items and garbage must be removed. Only the items of Lieven de Key on the inventory list remain in the room. Don't leave them in a common area too, it will be charged and disposed.
All your bedding from the welcome package must be removed (the mattrass not included) and taken with you or disposed of in the textile container.
Your garbage must be removed from your room, the communal areas or hallways.
If you brought in furniture or other large items that don’t fit in the waste containers, it’s considered bulky waste. You can bring your bulky waste to the Waste Collection Centre (‘Afvalpunt’) nearby at Marie Baronlaan. Or you can place your bulky waste on the pavement after 21:00 on Tuesday or on Wednesday before 07:00. The City of Amsterdam will collect it free of charge. If you take out your bulky waste outside these hours, you risk a fine of at least € 100.
If you still have a set of keys, mailbox key or keyfob(tag), please return this to Lieven De Key in an envelop/faulded paper with roomnumber written. In the caretaker(mailbox) when you leave, before the end of your tenancy.
