How clean should my apartment be when I move out?
Clean! To review the expectations, please read the Save
Your Cash Brochure (.pdf).
What do I do if I lost my key?
If you have lost
your key, the staff member that checks you out will note that on
your room inventory form when you check out. You will be billed
$150.00 to replace the lost key and change the
locks on your apartment.
What if I want to stay
after July 31, 2007?
Unfortunately,
we do not have space to allow students who are not continuing in
Arbor View to stay until their new living arrangements are settled.
What can I use to clean
my apartment?
In most cases,
you can use any type of All Purpose Cleaner. For your bathroom and
shower area, it is recommended that you use a product such as Clorox
2 or Comet according to our Facilities Department.
I haven’t seen my roommate in a while, what do I do with their belongings if I am the last person
to check out?
If you are the
last person to check out, you have the extra responsibility to ensure
that all materials are removed from the apartment. However, if you have
not seen one of your roommates in a while (and
they have materials in the apartment), it will be important for you
to notify staff of this as soon as possible so that we can attempt
to contact the student.
How do I avoid receiving a bill?
If you are checking
out and do not want to receive a bill, please review the Save Your
Cash Brochure (.pdf). This has helpful suggestions that you should
follow when checking out of your apartment.
How do I know if I have damages to my apartment?
Damages are defined
as any discrepancies with the condition of your apartment/bedroom
from the time you checked in to the time you checked out. All pre-existing
damages if any, were listed on the room
inventory form you signed when you moved in to your assignment.
What if there are damages to the common area that I did not cause?
Contact
a staff member as soon as possible. We have a form that you and
your roommates can complete allowing the individuals responsible
to take responsibility for the damages. In situations where a single
person cannot be identified, the charges may be divided among all
the residents of that apartment.
How do I request my deposit back?
When you
come to the desk to officially turn in your key, you can pick up
a copy of the Deposit Request form. You
must turn this in with the white copy of your Room Inventory Form
to the Residence Life Office in Mandeville Hall. Please do not leave
this form with the staff member. It is your responsibility to turn
this form in. Deposits are mailed 6-8 weeks after you check out. The
check will be mailed to the address you have on file with the Registrar’s
Office. You may NOT pick up a check or receive cash back.
