Room Condition Reports
Upon move-in, residents must assess the condition of their room and apartment by completing an online Room Condition Report (RCR) documenting the condition of their space at the time of move-in. Upon move-out, an inspection of their apartment is completed comparing the condition at move-in with the condition at move-out, to determine what is not normal wear and tear. If an RCR is not completed or submitted, their room and apartment will be inspected with the assumption that all items and furniture were in satisfactory condition with no damage at move-in. The RCR is located on the resident portal.
Alternatively, the RCR can also be accessed via an app, available for both Android and Apple. See links below to download:
Please note, you must be registered for the resident portal to use the app.
