Tenant Move-out Information

This checklist is provided to assist UCSF Housing Tenants with their departure plans.

Housing Termination Notice & Request Form

If you are an Aldea San Miguel tenant on the "old Housing Agreement" (you moved in prior to July 2005) or if you are on a Faculty housing agreement (and have fulfilled your 6-month obligation), you must submit a written 30-day notice of intent to vacate at least 30 days prior to your chosen date of move-out. If you are unsure of what type of Housing Agreement you have, please contact the Housing Services office.

All other tenants must move out and turn in keys by 11:00 AM on July 1 -- with the exception of those who have been granted an early termination or an extension. If you want to terminate early, prior to July 1, please contact Housing Services for policies and procedures.

Keys are due back to Housing Services by 11:00 AM on the termination date. If keys are returned late, you will be charged the pro-rated daily rent and any holdover fess that may apply (this may include, but is not limited to: cost of any legal and court fees; rescheduling service contractors; temporary shelter for any incoming tenant who sustains damages for delayed move-in; and excessive labor hours performed by UCSF Housing Staff). These fees commence at 11:01 AM on your move-out date.

  • At least two weeks before your move-out date, call to schedule a preliminary move-out inspection at the front desk
    Mission Bay: 415-514-4550
    Parnassus: 415-476-2231

    Please note that this inspection is required by the Housing Agreement and is your right under California law. If you choose to not have a move-out inspection, you waive your rights to dispute any charges for damages or cleaning. By having a preliminary move-out inspection prior to departure, you allow yourself time to remedy any problems for which you may be charged. Preliminary move-out inspections will only be conducted through June 30th for July 1 departures.

  • Address change notifications:
    • U.S. Post Office of Change of Address: https://moversguide.usps.com
    • Notify banks, insurance companies, magazines, alumni associations, etc.
    • Remove Name Label (if any) from your mailbox
    • Notify Housing Services of your Forwarding Address at check-out
  • Notify Utilities Providers of Service Termination

    Please do not tell PG&E to "turn off" power at your apartment. Instead, tell them to "take the billing out of your name." PG&E will not bill you for services used after the date you are released from your Housing Agreement.

    Tenants in 4-Bedroom apartments at Mission Bay and Avenues Houses (except Irving and faculty houses) do not need to call to stop PG&E Services, as these accounts are already under the University's name.

    You may wish to consider hiring a maid service. We encourage you to research any cleaning company, and get recommendations. Here's a non-profit organization of active senior citizens who do custodial work in San Francisco. We have not used their services, and this is not an endorsement. You may also consult the Yellow Pages for other resources.

    Self-Help for the Elderly Cleaning Service (415) 677-7618

  • If you're using a large moving truck or container, contact Housing Services at least one week in advance to arrange permissions for large-vehicle parking (for Aldea and Mission Bay only - Avenue Houses and Irving are subject to City Parking Regulations).
  • Pay any outstanding balances on your account.
    Post-departure property damage and cleaning charges will be billed to your account and are due within 90 days of move-out. We will notify you by U.S. mail (not email) if you have any outstanding charges or credits. Remember to give us your forwarding address upon move-out. After 90 days, all outstanding accounts are turned over to a credit collections agency.
  • Turn in keys to Housing Office by 11:00 AM on the day of move-out.
If you are moving on July 1, you should know that this will be a busy day, with many people moving out at the same time. Although Housing and Parking Services are working closely to ease traffic problems, we anticipate congestion in the following campus areas:
  • at Aldea San Miguel on Behr / Johnstone / Adolph Sutro Ct.,
  • on 3rd and 5th Avenues at the Parnassus campus,
  • on Irving Street between 2nd and 4th Avenues (Do NOT block MUNI trains!),
  • and at the Mission Bay Campus on 4th Street and on Nelson Rising Lane.
Mission Bay Tenants

Mission Bay tenants who are moving out may obtain special Parking Passes for temporary street parking. These passes are for limited hours and may be obtained at the MB Housing office.

For security reasons, please do not prop open building doors during move-out.

Mission Bay Tenant Assistants will be on duty each evening (except University Holidays) from 6 PM to midnight. Please call (415) 728-2978 for lock-outs.

It is strongly recommended that you begin shipping and moving some of your personal items prior to your actual check-out time. From Friday, June 26 through Wednesday, July 1, you can anticipate a "rush" (a wait for elevators, a shortage of "blue carts" at Mission Bay, traffic congestion, and lines at the Housing Offices).

At Mission Bay, a limit of 3 hours will apply to "blue cart" use. A valid Driver's License or Passport will be necessary to check out blue carts.

The Housing Services staff does not provide moving services. Here are some shipping and moving resources:

United States Postal Service http://www.usps.com/
United Parcel Service (UPS) http://www.ups.com/
Federal Express http://www.fedex.com/
DHL http://www.dhl.com/splash.html
Iron Man Moving Company http://www.ironmanmoving.biz/

Please note that the Housing Services office will NOT accept outgoing packages for pick-up! You must plan to ship directly with your chosen company.

Your Laundry Card may have some credit remaining on it. Here are some options:
  • You may sell or give the card to another tenant
  • You may use the credit as a donation to the UCSF Children's Hospital. Bring the card to the Parnassus Housing Office, or drop the card into any Mission Bay laundry room "Suggestion Box". WEB Laundry Services will collect the cards and will send a check to the hospital.
  • If the balance of your card is $8.00 or over, you may mail the card back to WEB for a refund. Obtain a postage-paid refund envelope at the Housing Services Office.
Donate your clothes and furniture to charity. Don't leave personal items as a "gift" to staff or other tenants, as you will be charged for their proper removal. Instead, give to one of the following charities:
  • Out of the Closet (HIV/AIDS programs and services). They will come to pick up a minimum of two large furniture items, TVs, and other large valuables. Call (877) 2 PICK IT UP -- (877) 274-2548 to schedule a donation pick-up appointment. Items may not be left at Housing Services or in public areas for pick-up.
  • St. Anthony Foundation (San Francisco agency that provides 11 different programs to feed, clothe and heal the city's homeless. It is a non-profit agency that is financially independent of any church). They will be collecting used clothing, children's toys, books, clocks, lamps and other items that are in good condition. Bring these to the Mission Bay lobbies or to the Millberry Union front desk at Parnassus. (June 16 - July 2)
  • San Francisco Food Bank (benefits low income households and senior citizens) Bring your extra UNOPENED food to the Housing Office (at Mission Bay only) for collection in a donation bin. (June 16 - July 2)

Or try to sell your stuff. You may also post items for sale on the Mission Bay Tenant mailing list. This mailing list is for residents to buy, sell or give away things. To subscribe to the mbh-market mailing list, send this one line message to listserv@listserv.ucsf.edu:
subscribe mbh-market first_name last_name

This mailing list is maintained by Mission Bay tenants. Housing Services does not administer this list or its activities.

Have it hauled away. You will be billed for any furniture you leave in the trash/recycling rooms or anywhere else on the Mission Bay Housing property. To dispose of furniture or other items that are too large to fit in the trash cart, visit www.recyclemyjunk.com, for information on a lost cost hauling service.

Thank you for choosing UCSF Housing Services. We hope you have enjoyed your time in the community, and we wish you the best of luck in your future pursuits. Have a safe and healthy journey!
