NORTHWOOD APARTMENT TRANSFERS
If you would like to move to another apartment, complete an Apartment Transfer Request. We will keep your Apartment Transfer Request on file for the whole year. The requests are time-stamped in the order in which we receive them.
Each time an apartment opens up, we will contact the first person on the list who is waiting for an apartment with the same specifications. If they decline, we will work our way down the list.
Transfer requests for July or August cannot be considered. Non-students are only eligible to transfer to Northwood V.
If you have questions related to an apartment transfer, please contact Michigan Housing.
NORTHWOOD CONTRACT TRANSFER TO SPOUSE OR PARTNER
If you graduate or become ineligible for Michigan Housing and your spouse/partner meets the Northwood Community Apartments eligibility requirements, you may request that the contract be transferred to your spouse/partner. Complete the online Request to Transfer Contract to Spouse/Partner form.
If the transfer is approved, the spouse/partner will sign a new contract listing them as the contract holder. The rental rate will be assessed at the appropriate student or non-student rate and will be based on the date of the contract transfer.
Term limits will be viewed in total years the household has resided in the apartment.
NORTHWOOD APARTMENT SWAP
Michigan Housing provides apartment swap bulletin boards. Apartment Swaps are only allowed between individuals with signed Housing contracts within the same community.
Northwood contract holders may swap between Northwood Community Apartments.
Residents may not swap between Northwood Community Apartments and Munger Graduate Residences.
The original contract end date may not be changed. You cannot “swap” into a vacant space, nor can you swap into a space for which you are not eligible.
If the swap results in a housing rate change, you will be billed based on the rate of the space into which you are moving. Michigan Housing prorates monthly charges on the 1st or 16th of the month.
Room swaps may be conducted between two contract holders who are already on-campus and living in their originally assigned space. Swaps will not be made if one or both contract holders have yet to take occupancy of the apartment.
Find an individual with a signed contract who would like to trade places with you. To do this, complete an online swap ad below or review ads of others who want to swap apartments. When you find a match, both residents should go together to the Community Center of their complex and meet with the Community Center staff to initiate the swap process.
