IMPROPER CHECK OUT CHARGES

Failure to check-out at the South Campus Commons Service Desks will result in a $100 Improper Check-Out Fee.  Example:  Leaving keys in your apartment and not checking out at Service Desk will result in an Improper Check-Out Charge. 

Also, there will be a $100 per day fee for each day or portion of a day that you remain past the move out date and time plus any additional charges according to The South Campus Commons lease.

Normal wear and tear are defined as damage that naturally and inevitably occurs when a resident lives in an apartment. If you are not sure about whether something is normal wear and tear, use these guidelines.

Examples of normal wear and tear:

• Small scratches or nicks in paint
• Worn carpet (not including stains)
• A few small tack holes
• Cabinet door that will not close or loose towel rack

Examples of NOT normal wear and tear:

• Permanently stained or burned carpets or counters
• Smoke damage
• Permanently stained, torn, or broken furniture
• Permanently stained or broken kitchen tile
• Holes in the wall
• Missing furniture or contents
• Excessively torn or broken blind slats
• Garbage or personal items left in apartment
• LED Strip Lights that leave behind sticky residue, wall damage, or paint damage.
• Dirty Bathroom (Tub/Toilet, etc)
• Broken/cracked windows
• Burned/scratched/damaged/stained vinyl/plank/carpet/tile flooring
• Cracked/damaged/stained toilets, tubs and mirrors
• Dented/burned/cracked/damaged/stained residue covered appliances, sinks, doors, cabinets and light fixtures
• Broken/damaged fridge shelves or shelf holders/guards
• Grease or burnt residue on/in stove/oven

Residents are expected to leave their apartment in a good condition, similar to when they moved in.  Damages to bedroom/bathroom spaces will be charged to the individual directly.  Damage charges for common areas will result in the charge being split by all apartment occupants evenly.  For example, if there is a bad stain on carpet in your bedroom, that charge would be charged to yourself.  If there is a bad stain in the common area carpet (and if no one takes responsibility for that carpet stain, and there was no mention of it in a Room Condition Report), then that charge will be split evenly by all apartment occupants.

*If you would like to claim responsibility for damage in your apartment you can do this on your check-out envelope when you move out.  This would prevent your roommates from receiving these charges.  All common area damages will be divided equally among residents of the apartment if no one claims responsibility. 

On the back of the move-out envelope it lists an area where you can claim responsibility for damages in the common area.  If no one takes responsibility of damages in the common area, charges will be split evenly amongst roommates.

Keys will not be accepted via mail.  Any key that we do not get back when you check out will result in a charge. 

Residents may be required to move-out due to academic / judicial ineligibility or voluntary transferring their lease.  Residents who check-out prior to the conclusion of their lease without a re-lessor remain financially responsible for their lease.  Departing residents must remove all belongings and properly check-out at the South Campus Commons Service Desk.  After a resident moves out, regardless of the time of year or relation to the conclusion of the lease, a move out inspection will be conducted by staff.  The departing resident will be held responsible for cleanliness and damage in their bedroom.  All residents of the apartment share responsibility for any damage in the common areas.  If a bathroom is shared, responsibility for damage and cleanliness will be shared by the residents.  For non-shared bathrooms, the individual resident will be responsible
