Lease Turnover Form:

Lease Turnover Process

  • What is a lease turnover?
    • If a student remains enrolled at the university and wishes to move out of their on-campus apartment space, they must complete a Lease Turnover. This means, you will turn over occupancy and rights to the apartment to another student.
    • Students who are leaving their apartment to study away, engage in internships, or move off campus during fall or spring must find a replacement and complete a lease turnover form. Students who are leaving the university due to transferring, withdrawing, or graduating are not required to do a lease turnover.
    • A lease turnover form is not a sublease process. When a lease turnover form is completed and submitted the student turning over the lease is relinquishing full control and any rights related to being a resident of that space as well as the ability to re-sign the lease for that space in the future through the housing selection process.
  • When can lease turnovers occur? 
    • Students can turn their lease over to a new student during the following time periods:
      1. Summer and Fall: Typically June 15 – end of Fall Semester
        1. Both turnover/acceptance forms for this time period must be completed by May 1.
      2. Winter and Spring: Typically early January – end of Spring Semester
        1. Both turnover/acceptance forms for this time period must be completed by December 1.
      3. Spring: Typically all of Spring Semester
        1. Both turnover/acceptance forms for this time period must be completed by January 1.
      4. NOTE: Specific dates for apartment transitions, including lease turnovers, should correspond with regular move in and move out dates found on our Important Dates list.
