Student Responsibility for Cleaning
< Back to Rent and Terms & Conditions of Residence
Communal areas
- Students are expected to clean all areas of the house or flat, wash up and remove rubbish daily to the bin areas. The University reserves the right to impose charges when standards fall well below acceptable limits or excess rubbish needs to be removed
- Monitors will be regularly checking all houses and flats and if not kept up to standard cleaners will be instructed and residents invoiced for the cost.
Study/Bedroom
- Bedrooms may be checked on a termly basis.
- It is recommended that at the start of the academic year a rota or similar system is agreed between residents to ensure fair distribution of cleaning duties and rubbish clearance.
- Any charges made for communal areas are split between all residents irrespective of who may be at fault.
Outside Areas
- Students must not leave rubbish or any items considered unsightly outside their residence and the area must be kept tidy. After adequate warning any bags of household refuse or unsightly rubbish left outside residences will be removed by the University and all residents will be liable for the costs of disposal. Rubbish must be deposited in bags in the designated areas. It must not be left outside the bins but placed inside them. Rubbish left outside bins is unhealthy and attracts vermin.
