For those who are negligent or deliberately messy, please note that the student will be charged an appropriate labor charge when, in our judgment, extra work and labor time is required to clean the room.
If specific damage is to be billed to a particular roommate, that roommate must take responsibility in writing, or all students assigned to the room will be billed
If extra trash bags are needed, please see your RA.
