After a person has moved out of the studio they’ve stayed in, we expect for it to be in the same condition as it was provided, with the exception of any minor wear stemming from regular use. If there has been damage done to the studio or its inventory during the time the member has stayed in the studio, it should be remedied before the departure date. This includes replacing any damaged inventory items, filling in any holes in the walls, and generally restoring the studio to its original condition.
It is also mandatory to clean the studio thoroughly before departure, including wiping down all surfaces, clearing out the air vents, and cleaning out any drains in the apartment. In order to make sure that the expectations are met, and that every member is aware of what constitutes an approved cleaning, a move-out checklist is provided to every member to clearly outline what needs to be done before checking out. If it is the first time you do a move-out cleaning, please note that it takes a significant amount of time. Make sure that you have sufficient margins in your planning.
If there are damages to the studio after you have departed, or additional cleaning needs to be done to restore it to an acceptable condition, the cost to remedy these issues will be charged against your security deposit. If that is the case, you will receive a report on any noted issues, along with an itemised account of what needed to be done and the associated costs.
