Common use of Shared Spaces Clause in Contracts

Shared Spaces. In cases of damage and/or excessive uncleanliness in a shared space (hallway, community bathroom, common room, etc.), all residents of a floor/building/pod/etc. are ultimately responsible. For this reason, it is essential that residents immediately report any damages/excessive uncleanliness. Residence life staff members will attempt to discover the person responsible. If the person responsible does not come forward and/or information is not provided to help residence life members determine the person who is responsible, all residents of the floor/building/pod/etc. will be fined for equal portions of the total charge to repair the damages/clean the shared space. Assignments will typically be made on the basis of two students per room in the residence halls and three to eight in the off-campus houses. However, demand for housing may require that the College assign three students per room or bedroom, and thus the College reserves the right to assign students in this manner. Students so assigned will be reassigned to double occupancy spaces as they become available.

However, demand for housing may require that the College assign three students per room or bedroom, and thus the College reserves the right to assign students in this manner. Students so assigned will be reassigned to double occupancy spaces as they become available. If space is available, and upon approval, students may request retention of a double room as a single accommodation at the prevailing double as a single rate. The College has the right to revoke approval if space is needed. All furniture must remain in a room, in accordance with the Alterations policy, even if a student elects to have the room double as a single.
