- Empty trash/sweep floor, clean appliances; leaving a dirty bedroom/common area can cost at least $150 and possibly more.
- Avoid the risk of damaging the walls by not removing command strips. Facilities staff will remove properly.
- Remove personal items from balconies and stairwells (chairs, bikes, etc.).
- We DO NOT take responsibility for any items you leave inside the room, on the balcony, or in the stairwells.If you check out and leave items, you will be charged disposal fees(minimum of $50 per load).
- Lock your bedroom before you come down to the Clubhouse to check out.
HOW TO *PROPERLY* CHECK OUT: All residents leaving for Summer should check out at the Clubhouse. Apartment Staff will be inside the Clubhouse in order to collect your key, decode your ID, and to get you to complete the check-out paperwork. Failure to check-out with staff at the Clubhouse will result in a minimum charge of $35 plus $50 for a re-key and any additional charges for damages or a dirty room/apartment. You need to have your key/ID card with you when you come to check-out at the Clubhouse.
DONATIONS/DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED GOODS: You may donate unopened canned food and unwanted clothes, pots, pans, and dishes to the Clubhouse for Bucky’s Food Pantry. You must deliver these items to the Clubhouse during our normal business hours. Leaving items in the room and saying that you are “donating items” is not appropriate. You will be charged for all items that you leave inside the apartment, as we have to hire staff to carry/load these items.
As you move out, please also note that you can dispose of your prescription drugs safely, conveniently, and responsibly by visiting the designated National Prescription Drug Take Back booth at the ETSU Farmer’s Market on Thursday, April 26from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
