"It's Not Really Goodbye, After All" πŸ₯Ί - CH Newsletter #66

As part of joining our private student residence, our members receive weekly updates about the community, upcoming events, developments in the student residence and any other relevant news. We've decided to post these updates on our website in order to let our visitors looking for student housing get an inside view of the Chelsea House student life!

Dear Chelsea House family,
 
Welcome back to the CH Show!!! πŸ“Ί - This is the weekly update to keep you abreast of what’s good in Montreal, the city we love ❀️, as well as updates from your beloved student residence community 🏑 (and another benefit is this keeps parents back home jealous at all times & updated enough not to blow up your phones lolβ€οΈπŸ™ ).
 
As we welcome the first week of May and officially bid farewell to this school semester, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all you for choosing Chelsea House as your home away from home 🏑.

It has been a pleasure having all of you with us, and we hope your stay has been enjoyable and fulfilling ❀️ We hope to see you again someday, somewhere in the 🌍

To lighten up the mood, this week, we're sharing with you a glimpse of the happenings at the end of the semester party, some last minute activities to try for those who are still in the city, as well as a very important reminder regarding our move-out procedures.

Okay, let's get right into it CFam! πŸ’ͺ🏻

HOUSE UPDATES


REMINDERS 🚨

Bank Details
Alright, CFam! With the moving out preparations in full blast, our official move-out inspector Steph πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ would like to remind everyone to please please fill out the bank details form below.

 

This is super duper important because as you know, we will begin to process the refunds of your security deposits at the end of your lease. If we do not have the info on-hand or if there are errors in the details that you have submitted, refunds will be delayed and consequently, will cause headaches for our accounting team 🀯.

To ensure that the process goes as smoothly and swiftly as possible, please make sure that ALL of your requirements for the move-out are done and submitted on time (check the link for the move-out info sent via email to you and your parents).

Thank you so much for your cooperation, CFam! πŸ™πŸ»
