Leaving Germany
Deregister at the Bürgerbüro Karlsruhe (Kaiserallee 8) one week prior to your depature.
When moving out of the student dormitory, you have to pay attention to the following points:
- Refund of the room deposit
When you move out of the student dormitory, the security deposit will be refunded by Studierendenwerk. You will be given a statement from the janitor, provided that your room has been left in an orderly manner. The money will be transferred to your account 3 months after the end of the rental contract.
- Cancelling your rental contract
The dormitory rooms that you received through the International Office, can only be rented for a minimum of 6 months. An early cancellation is not possible. If you leave earlier, you still have to pay the rent for the remaining months.
- Moving out
Please contact the Hausmeister (janitor) at least 2 weeks before you would like to move out. You should make an appointment to get your room checked, receive the statement for the deposit and return the key. Please make sure to present your room and communal area (kitchen, bathroom) in a clean and orderly manner.
It might be possible to cancel your health insurance before the official end of the semester. Please let your insurance agent know early in advance when you intend to leave Germany and ask what you would need to provide in order to make a cancellation possible.
Before leaving Karlsruhe, you should inform your bank of your departure and ask them how to proceed. In exceptional cases (e.g., if you are waiting for money to be transferred to your account), the account can be closed online. For more information, please ask your bank.
