Preparing to return home
Here are some guide lines that you as an exchange student need to think about before you go back home. Make sure you have read and done everything that is asked of you before you go back to your home country.
Cleaning
When you leave, you are responsible for the final cleaning of your accommodation. Do not forget that cleaning also includes the shared facilities that you have access to, such as kitchens, study rooms, common rooms, etc. Cleaning instructions for your particular accommodation can be found on the back side of your housing contract. We expect you to follow the cleaning instructions to the letter and that you leave your accommodation completely clean. If you have not cleaned your room properly we will hire a cleaning company and you will have to pay a cleaning fee of SEK 1500.
Keys
When departing you must leave the keys in an envelope that has your name and the room address written on it in the red key-box located outside room A405 at Södra Huset, floor 4 at Stockholm University. If you have a friend returning your key please keep in mind that you are still responsible for the key being returned on time - no exceptions! If you fail to hand in the key on time you will be charged a fee of SEK 3700 (the cost for a lock change). Please note that the key cannot be dropped off anywhere else than in the red key-box at Stockholm University.
The doors into the International Office where the red key-box is located is open Monday-Friday between 08:00-17:00 so you must drop the keys during that time.
Inspection
When you have cleaned your accommodation, an inspection will take place after the semester ends. This is to ensure that your room has been cleaned properly. If you have not cleaned your room properly we will hire a cleaning company and you will have to pay a cleaning fee of SEK 1500.
