Moving out made easy

We hope you have enjoyed your stay in Student Apartments/Lister House and that you will have good memories of your time in residences.

Returning your keys

Your room contract will end at 10am on 31 December 2024, you must vacate the room on or before this time. Please email us at studentapartments@glasgow.ac.uk to let us know what date you are planning to move out- this helps us keep an accurate record of who is in building as well as aiding our cleaning and maintenance planning.

You can return your keys to the Student Apartments office, or to the Gatehouse, or you can leave them on your desk, but please let us know by email which of these options you choose so we can easily keep track of the location of the keys. Please return your keys in an envelope with your name.

Lister House keys should be posted through the Lister House office door letterflap.
