Clean up and Avoid Damage and Cleaning Charges
No one wants extra fines on their account at the end of the year right? We got you. Here are some great ways to reassure you that you’ve done all you can to avoid getting charged:
Roommate Chats
- Plan for who will clean what. Split up the areas to clean and decided ahead of time who will be responsible for each. Work together to make a consistent contract that outlines expectations.
- What if your roommate moves out and leaves a mess?
- Take pictures before you move out of what cleaning you did and how the unit was left upon your departure. If this is not done, we split charges between roommates. Send us an email at residence.housekeeping@ucalgary.ca.
- Residents will be billed for excessive or improperly disposed trash and left belongings that need to be moved.
Room Inspection Checklist
- Your room will be inspected to ensure the following items are cleaned. Feel free to use this checklist as your personal checklist to make sure everything is covered.
Borrow a vacuum
- Vacuums are stored in each residence for students to borrow. Check out the link below for more information and to fill out the form.
REPORT DAMAGES & MAINTENANCE ISSUES ASAP
- If there are damaged items or maintenance issues in your room, make sure to submit an ARCHIBUS request before you leave.
