How it's used
This term is specifically used for hotels or guesthouses. It implies the entire process of settling the bill and returning the room key to the front desk. It is rarely used for residential rental agreements, where terms like 搬走 or 完約 are more appropriate.
Examples
We are checking out at ten tomorrow morning.

Common mistake
Do not use this for moving out of a rented apartment or house, as it sounds like you are leaving a hotel room. For residential contexts, use 搬走 instead.
