[ continued ] At the time of the check out appointment or upon inspection after an Express Checkout, a staff member will evaluate the condition of the room, taking note of any damages, trash, missing items and/ or cleaning concerns. Anything needing repair or replacement will be charged to the Student Account unless the item was (a) listed in the same condition on the Condition Report (filled out when the room was first occupied by the student), or (b) normal wear and tear is determined to be the cause. Any bills related to the unit’s condition will be available through my.uncc.edu. When it is not clear which resident is responsible for the damage, charges will be divided equally among the occupants of the room/suite/apartment (unless a signed Damage Responsibility Form is submitted). Residents will also be billed for excessive cleaning costs. Disciplinary action will be taken for any policy violations found during the check out process. FAILURE TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE CHECK OUT PROCESS WILL RESULT IN A $25.00 IMPROPER CHECK OUT CHARGE.
Late Check outs
Because of the time constraints involved in preparing for future housing obligations, late checkouts are not permitted. A resident is expected to vacate (including removing all personal property and returning all keys) at the conclusion of his/her occupancy period defined as 12:00 noon on the day following his/her last final exam but no later than the date/time the residence halls close (see Residence Hall Opening and Closing Dates for details). If a student does not vacate by the conclusion of the occupancy period, the locks to the residential space will be changed (at the student’s expense) and further occupancy will be denied. A student will be charged $100.00 per day or any part of the day for failure to vacate the residential area by the conclusion of the occupancy period and will need to make an appointment to remove the remainder of his/her belongings.
Abandoned Property
If a student does not vacate the space assigned by the University at the conclusion of the occupancy period specified in the Contract for Residential Services, or if a student does not remove all personal property from such space before the conclusion of the occupancy period, the University may remove all property left by the student (or any person admitted to the space by a student) and restore the space. Any property removed by the University may be stored or treated as abandoned property and disposed of accordingly. The University shall not be liable for any damage to, or loss of, such property which occurs during the course of such removal, storage, delivery or disposal. The student shall pay to the University all costs incurred by the University in effecting such removal, storage, delivery or disposal, and in restoring the space (minimum labor charge of $50.00). In addition, unless the student’s failure to vacate and restore the space is due to Force Majeure, the student shall be liable to the University for any loss suffered by the University if another student who has the right to use the space is materially delayed or impaired from use by the student’s failure to vacate and remove personal property from the assigned space.
