Moving out from KI Housing

Here are important instructions that you as a tenant must follow before and upon your departure.

Departure cleaning

You need to clean the accommodation properly before moving out. KI Housing has high expectations on the cleanliness of the accommodation after your departure. 

Have in mind that a departure cleaning must be thorough and you should expect it to take a considerable amount of time.

Final inspection

An inspection of the apartment/room is made after your departure. 

To ensure a fair and transparent process, the condition of the apartment is documented during the final inspection. This includes that photos may be taken.

These photos are used solely for internal documentation and to support any potential deductions from the deposit, in accordance with Swedish rental law.

Failure in leaving the accommodation in a satisfactory condition will result in our withholding part, or the total amount, of the deposit paid.

If no deposit has been paid, a cleaning invoice will be issued to the individual or organization responsible for the rent payment.

The cost for a move-out cleaning typically starts at around 1000 SEK, but may vary depending on factors such as the size and condition of the accommodation.

Cleaning instructions

KI Housing has compiled some cleaning instructions to help you not to miss any important steps in the cleaning procedure.

Damages

You are obliged to report any new damages in the apartment/room with no delay. Damage that is caused by the tenant or has become manifest only after the final inspection will be charged to the tenant.

Time for departure – 14.00

We kindly ask you to leave the apartment/room and return the keys to the key return box no later than 14.00 in the afternoon on the day of your departure (the last day of your contract). The keys must be returned to us on time on the day of departure, otherwise a part of your deposit may be withheld.

Change your postal address at Skatteverket

Upon departure, remember to notify Skatteverket of your new address

KI Housing will remove your name from the postal box after your departure which means that no letters addressed to you will be delivered to your old address.

If you are moving within Sweden, you can order a mail forwarding service: adressandring.se
