Info

It is very important that on departure you make every effort to leave your room in a clean and tidy state. You are responsible for removing all posters (white tac and sellotape) from your walls. If you do not remove them, you will not know if you have damaged the walls or not. Housekeeping staff do not always have the time to ensure all posters are removed carefully if you have not taken responsibility for taking them down yourself. An untidy room risks a charge for extra cleaning! Your housekeeper will place a rubbish bag on your bed during the last week of term. Use it and leave your room tidy! Any items left in your room will be thrown away or donated to charity. If you have purchased a fridge, you will need to remove it yourself. You will be charged for the removal of the fridge if you leave it behind. How Do I Know if I Have Been Charged For Any Damages Charges to your Security Deposit will be processed within 3 weeks of your departure. The damage charge will be added to your student account and you will be informed of this through university e-mail. The next time you pay fees you will have to pay for any charges against your Security Deposit so that it remains at the full amount. Be aware that you may be charged for collective damages, especially if you live in a satellite residence. If you wish to contest fines imposed on you, you must do so in writing within 30 days of the e-mail sent to you. When Do I Get My Security Deposit Back When you leave Richmond for good your Security Deposit, minus any charges, will be forwarded to your billing address 8-10 weeks after the end of term. You must request this deposit from the finance department. If you move off-campus you can request your Security deposit in writing to finance@richmond.ac.uk. Once the University has ascertained that you do not owe any outstanding fees, charges or damages the deposit will be returned to the fee payer. Questions about refunds should be addressed to the Accounts Office. Any questions about charges should be addressed to the department who processed the deduction. What Does Damage Cost First, you should be aware that many students do not distinguish between `wear and tear' and `damage'. Wear and Tear is any change in the condition of your room which is to be expected as a normal result of occupancy. Damage arises from intentional or unintentional usage or acts that affect the fabric of your room or the fixtures and fittings resulting in a need for repair or replacement when we would not normally have expected to carry out such work at that time. For example, burns of any sort are always `damage'. Graffiti is ‘damage’. Marks on walls cause by tape or any other kind of adhesive is ‘damage'. New items in your room which are damaged will be replaced with new items.
