Move-In Information

You are scheduled to check into your apartment any time between 9AM-4PM on your move in day. When you arrive to the property, first visit our office in the Baity House, located on top of the hill at 1503 Baity Hill Drive, to pick up your key(s) to access your apartment and flex-pass(es) to access your building.

An apartment condition form can be found via your My Housing Portal login under the room inspection tab.  COMPLETION OF THIS FORM IS NOT REQUIRED unless you wish to report that there is damage in your apartment that DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPAIRED, but that you are not responsible for. The listing of any damages on this form will ensure you won’t be charged for the damaged item when you vacate the apartment. For items requiring repair, please DO NOT add them to the Apartment Condition Form, as items reported there WILL NOT BE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR. Instead, complete a request to have the item repaired at http://go.unc.edu/FixMyRoom. 

Payments are placed on student accounts and payments are made through the cashier’s office. Please remember that rent is due on the 1st of each month and late after the 5th. The MyHousing Portal is where you will go to renew your contract for the next year, request to transfer apartments, or give your notice to vacate, when the time comes.
