Avoid Abandoned Property Charges! Don’t forget your belongings!
University Housing is not responsible for any property left by residents when they move out. During closing inspections, University Housing Staff will attempt to recover and inventory abandoned property. Abandoned Property is defined as state/federal documents or individual property over $75.00. Examples of abandoned property that could be recovered by University Housing Staff include electronics, jewelry, drawer full of clothes, set of pots and pans, etc. This does not include a single piece of clothing, cleaning supplies, dirty clothing, shampoo left in shower, any food items, etc.
When items are deemed abandoned property, they will be stored for 30 days. If abandoned property is found in your living space, you will be notified and charged $25.00 per bag! Any abandoned property left after 30 days will be destroyed or donated.
To avoid any abandoned property charges, check your apartment and bedroom prior to checking out. This includes commonly missed spaces such as closets, cabinets, drawers, and common areas.
