Your Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to clean your summer housing assignment before you vacate. Please review the following Cleaning Responsibilities. If you participated in Housing Renewal and will stay in your housing assignment over the summer, review the information on Continuous Units.

Please read the cleaning responsibilities list found in the Return Your Housing to Move-in Condition section carefully. You must complete each task outlined. If you share your apartment/suite, your group should coordinate these tasks among yourselves. Each summer student will be held responsible if the unit is not properly prepared for the incoming/returning students for the 2023-2024 academic year. Totally vacant units will be cleaned by a contract cleaning service. If the contractor is required to do cleaning outside of the normal scope to properly prepare your unit for the academic year’s students, you are responsible for the additional cleaning charges incurred. You may also lose housing renewal privileges if you fail to properly prepare the unit for incoming students.

An apartment/suite that is not vacated for the summer will be refreshed for cleaning only as this unit will be considered “continuous”.  No paint touch ups or project work will be completed. Apartments/suites will be inspected at the end of the spring semester to determine if there are any damages to approve the unit for an continuous summer assignment. Any damages discovered will be applied to spring resident's student accounts.

The responsibility to clean a continuous unit and prepare it for the next academic year’s students falls upon the summer student(s), even if the occupants for the next academic year are the roommates you renewed the unit with. Failure to maintain the unit or properly prepare it for the next academic year’s students may result in damage/cleaning charges being applied to the summer resident's student account and/or losing the opportunity to remain a resident of the apartment/suite.

Summer Storage

Storage of personal belongings is not permitted in RIT housing. Students living in RIT housing for summer are prohibited from storing other students’ personal belongings. Students who are not on contract for summer and leave personal belongings in a unit will have summer housing rent charges applied to their student accounts until items are removed or discarded.

If you are assigned to the apartment/suite you will be occupying for the 2023-2024 academic year for summer, you may not allow spring term students to leave items through summer and you may not allow incoming students to drop off their belongings prior to the official move-in date for the 2023-2024 academic year.

If you plan to leave RIT for the summer, you may not leave your personal belongings in the apartment/suite you renewed for the 2023-2024 academic year.
