Tenants who graduate or leave Ohio University prior to the end of the lease year are permitted to terminate their lease with a 30-day advance notice to the office. You can click here and complete a Request to Vacate form, as well as to receive instructions on how to avoid additional charges by vacating properly.

Tenants must checkout with the manager when vacating their apartment. Failure to check out will result on a $25 charge. You will need to allow at least one-half hour for check out. If occupants check out of their apartment during a weekend, they must make advanced arrangements with the apartment office located in 052 Chubb Hall. Checkout times are scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. only.

All appropriate keys issued to the Tenant when occupying the apartment must be returned to the manager at the time of check out. For security reasons, tenants who do not return all keys signed out to the apartment will be assessed a charge for a lock change.

Tenant must give his/her forwarding address to the office at the time of, or prior to, the time of check out in order for the security deposit to be refunded. Refunds will not be processed the same day as check out and will take up to 30 days to receive.

Tenant must clear their Housing accounts with the Bursar’s Office and present proof of payment before vacating premises.
