# Early Check-out

## Overview

The Early Check-out feature lets you end your stay before your scheduled check-out date or time. This is useful when your plans change or you need to leave earlier than expected.

Once the check-out is confirmed, your key is revoked immediately and re-entry to the room is no longer possible. Please make sure you have collected all your belongings before completing this action.
