Taking Care of Your Home

Having your own living space is exciting and it entails some responsibilities for you and your roommate(s). The Roommate Agreement allows you to create a cleaning schedule with your roommate(s) to properly take care of your space. Keeping your apartment or room clean will help reduce roommate conflicts and maintenance problems, especially when you check out at the end of the year or leave for breaks. Our maintenance staff will do safety checks over the winter break, so you will want to be sure that you are properly taking care of your space.

Housekeeping & Maintenance

For health, safety, and pest control reasons, please keep your room or apartment clean. It is strongly recommended that showers, toilets, ovens, stoves, and carpets be cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis. Cleaning on a regular basis will help you avoid excessive cleaning at the end of the year and unnecessary cleaning charges.

If repairs are needed in your room or apartment, please complete our online maintenance request.

If maintenance workers have to enter your room or apartment to make requested repairs when you are not present, maintenance personnel will leave a signed form to let you know that they entered your residence.

Insurance

Your personal property is not covered by University insurance. Examples include, but are not limited to, personal belongings that are: stolen; placed in storage; damaged by clothes washers/dryers, smoke/fire, or water; or left in your room after checkout. Renter's or homeowner's insurance is strongly recommended. Please consult with your insurance agent prior to residing on campus

Should something need repair in your room or apartment, be sure to submit an online maintenance request in order to allow our maintenance staff to assist you. Don't leave damage unreported until winter break or until the end of the year. There is no cost for repair of normal wear and tear items. For emergency situations, contact your Resident Assistant or the Community Center, (920) 465-2040.
