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. And students cannot move from one apartment to another apartment between terms.
