4.3.2.
(a) If damage is caused to the Common Areas and the perpetrator of the
damage cannot be identified by the University following a reasonable
investigation by the University, the Licensee shall, together with all other
occupants of the flat or corridor or Halls of Residence (as appropriate)
where the damage has occurred, account to the University for a reasonable
proportion of the cost of remedying the damage as determined by the
University.
Note: When living in the Halls of Residence, the Licensee forms part of a
community of students for the period of the Licence. Like any other
community, it depends on each and every member playing a part in
ensuring its safe and efficient running. Where safety and efficiency are
compromised and costs are incurred by the University as a result of
damage to the CommonAreas, it will be necessary to pass the reasonable
cost of repair onto the Licensee and to other occupiers of the Halls of
Residence collectively and in equal amounts. The communal damage
charge will only be imposed, where, after reasonable investigation, the
person or persons responsible for the damage cannot be identified.
(b) The Licensee may appeal in writing against the imposition by the University
of the cost of the damage to the Common Areas to the Chief Operating
Officer within 7 days of the date of the notice of the charge. The decision
of the Chief Operating Officer (or his/her nominee) shall be issued to the
Licensee usually within 7 days of receipt of the appeal, though this period
may be extended in appropriate circumstances, for example where the
Chief Operating Officer (and/or his/her nominee) is on annual leave.
(c) The Licensee shall pay the charges within 14 days of the date of the
invoice. Where the Licensee appeals against the imposition of the
charge and the appeal is unsuccessful or where the charge has been varied
as a result of the appeal, payment should be made within 7 days of the
date of the notice of the outcome of the appeal.
4.3.3.
A transfer fee of £50.00 will be charged to a Licensee who requests to change
Rooms during the Residential Year.
4.3.4.
A charge of £10 is made for the replacement of each lost key and/or each lost
swipe card, which shall be paid by the Licensee direct to the University. The
Licensee may also be required to pay the reasonable cost of replacing locks caused
by the loss of keys and in the case of lost swipe cards, the reasonable cost of
reprogramming relevant equipment.
4.3.5.
The University may give the Licensee written notice if (in the University’s
reasonable opinion) the Room or Common Parts do not meet acceptable standards
of cleanliness or tidiness. If there is no improvement on the date of the follow-up
notice specified in the written notice then the University shall be entitled to hire
cleaners to carry out the work and recover the cost (up to a maximum charge of
£20 per hour) from the Licensee.
4.3.6.
The University shall charge the Licensee £25 for each extra day in residence
on termination or expiry of this Licence (including until such time as all personal
items are successfully removed).
4.3.7.
The University shall charge the Licensee £10 for each key and/or swipe card
to the Roomwhich is not returned to the Residences Staff on termination or expiry
of this Licence.
4.3.8.
The Licensee shall pay to the University the reasonable costs of storage and/or
disposal of the Licensee’s personal belongings which the Licensee fails to remove
on expiry or termination of this Licence and/or the reasonable storage or disposal
costs of any dangerous object confiscated by the University.
