You will receive communication from The Switch regarding your upcoming check-out. Our staff will ask your availability date and time so we can conduct a check-out inspection.

If you are a resident in Perth you will also be able to book your check-out inspection via The Switch app (read HERE for details).

During this process we will issue you a final condition report (THIS LINK explained what a condition report is) and we will settle the final bill including if there's any charges applicable to your departure (damage, cleaning etc).

You are required to move out and vacate your room prior to 11:00am on the last date of your lease and return the premises to the standard stated in your check-in condition report. If you have a swipe key with you, please return to reception before your departure. If you are using a digital key, you key will be deactivated by 11:00am.
