Move Out Cleaning

Good to Know

Moving out solo or with roomies? Everyone shares the cleaning responsibility for common areas! Skip the cleaning and say goodbye to 50 € (or more) from your deposit – but let’s avoid that, shall we?

🌍 Exchange Students

You can leave things in the apartment that the next tenant might need. Don’t leave any perishable food or broken items.
Remember to leave the pillow, duvet and bed linen into your room, folded on top of the bed. The janitors will check and collect them after you have left.
