Info

A very high percentage of damage occurs during move out. Leave enough time for packing and cleaning up. Housekeeping reports that rooms which are untidy during term time and difficult to clean often have a higher rate of damage at the end of term. Whether you get your security deposit back in full or not is up to you. Also, ALWAYS fill out a room inventory form when you move in to note down previous damage. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE FINED FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S DAMAGE! Kensington Residence Life Manual 2012-2013 29
