Quadrangle Housing Company
____As of March 8, 2016
Check Out Information
Off-Campus Housing Residents—must vacate their apartment by the lease ending date at
midnight. A 30-day written notice is required before vacating the apartment and terms of the lease have
been fulfilled. Please turn in your change of address at your earliest convenience.
Express Check Out
“Express Check Out” is designed to allow you the flexibility of leaving your apartment whenever
you need to leave St. Louis, but without the benefit of a formal inspection. An “Express Check Out” is as
easy as returning your keys to the Quadrangle Housing office in an envelope, identified by your name, the
date, your apartment address, and your forwarding address and telephone number. Your checkout will not
be considered complete until your keys are received. Our office is located at 700 Rosedale and envelopes
may be slipped through our mail slot after 5 p.m. Please note that by taking advantage of the “Express
Check Out” procedure you are waiving your right to be present at the move-out inspection, and to contest
any charges that may be billed.
Conventional Check Out
If you choose not to use the “Express Check Out” procedure, you and your roommate(s), together,
will need to schedule a single inspection appointment with Quadrangle Housing. A staff member will meet
you at the appointed day and time to go through a checklist of items in your apartment.
You must make an appointment for the checkout inspection at least 72-hours in advance by calling
314-935-9511 or email quadranglemaintenance@wustl.edu. All of your belongings must be packed or out
of the apartment at the time of the inspection. A Quadrangle Housing staff member will check your
apartment and collect your keys when the inspection is complete.
