Move-in at College Houses is a complex and busy time. Hundreds of members move in all at once across our seven co-op houses.
Due to the prep work needed across all of our houses, early move-ins are not guaranteed.
Here are some options that many students utilize when arriving early:
(This list is not an endorsement of any of these options.)
If you feel requesting an early move-in is your only option, you must request it using this form: Request Early Move-In
If a member receives approval to move in early, the contract dates will not be changed. Early move-ins are not a contractual offer or obligation for College Houses to provide housing prior to the start of the lease.
The fee for an early move-in will be the daily rate found in your contract, due with your first rent payment. Once a resident receives their keys, their unit is considered occupied and early move-in charges begin.
Please keep the following in mind:
- The room you receive as an early arrival might not be the room you are assigned to for the term of your contract. You may have to change rooms at the start of your contract.
- You will likely be the first person to see your room since the previous occupant left and agree to accept the room as-is. Dissatisfaction with the condition of your room is not grounds for a contract cancellation. You should expect to perform heavy cleaning yourself without the assistance of cleaning crews, as our crews are very busy before the move-in date.
- Your room may not be fully furnished upon arrival. We will work to ensure you have a mattress, but other furniture may take some time to be relocated.
