Roommate Move-Out Checklist

When a roommate moves out, there's more to handle than just finding a replacement. This checklist covers every step to protect yourself and your home.

Notify the landlord immediately. Get the departing roommate's written notice and start the lease transfer process if needed.

Settle all shared bills — utilities, groceries, subscriptions. Get final payments in writing before they leave.

Document the condition of their room and shared spaces. Return any deposits between the two of you. Collect their keys and update any access codes.
