What are the move-out instructions?
These are a set of guidelines that your Property Support Team will send you after the contract termination process is completed. They include instructions on the status of the room and on how to return the keys.
The move-out instructions will be sent to you at any point from the time they have successfully terminated your contract or up to a few days before your move-out date.
