Moving in & out - Herning

Moving in

When does your lease start?

Your leasing contract starts on the day stated in your housing offer, and normally you can pick up your key from that date (or any day hereafter) at the Reception at AU Herning (AU HE). If it happens that your lease starts on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, you can't pick up your key until the first weekday hereafter. You need to arrange and pay for short term accommodation until then yourself.

Picking up your key

You can pick up your key and leasing contract at the Reception, BTECH, Birk Centerpark 15, 7400 Herning. Office hours Monday-Thursday from 8am to 2pm, Friday from 8am to 12.30noon. However, we always suggest that you contact Heidi Maibritt Trampedach Larsen - heidi@au.dk to make an appointment for picking up your keys and leasing contract. If you arrive outside office hours you need to arrange short term accommodation yourself.

What to do when moving in?

You have to fill in the moving in checklist immediately after having moved in. As this might determine how much of your deposit you will get back, you are asked to complete the report on your first day. Complaints should immediately be addressed to Heidi Maibritt Trampedach Larsen - heidi@au.dk  including if you notice any problems with the furniture or you have complaints regarding the cleaning of your room.

Insurance

AU Housing strongly recommends that you take out home contents insurance that will cover your loss in case of burglary, fire etc. AU does not cover any losses.
