In order for you to promote coexistence between flat mates, we recommend you to bear in mind the following suggestions and rules.

Maintenance and housekeeping aspects

• Damages: Remember that the student has to make a good use of the flat, services or equipment. Damage to original furniture in a student room will be replaced by the student of that room.
• Failures and repairs: In case of an emergency - breakdowns or damages on the flat facilities -, it is very important that you call the owner immediately and inform about damages before taking a decision on your own.

In order to check for the room state, an inspection will be required during monthly revisions and after termination of the Agreement. Each student has the right to find a proper accommodation, not only at his/her arrival but also during the stay. Each resident is expected to cooperate in keeping the flats and rooms clean and is responsible for keeping his/her room in a neat and sanitary condition at all times.

The cost of extraordinary cleaning resulting from a living group's activities will be charged as if it were a matter of damage.

• Rules for keeping common rooms clean: keep the kitchen and bathroom clean after using. Students are responsible for keeping common areas clean and tidy. The students can choose (by a majority) whether they want to take care of the cleaning or whether they prefer to hire a housecleaner company and then divide the cost among all students. Please remember that you have to set out your garbage on street containers daily and during hours collection.
