MOVING IN
Everything will be thrown out unless BOTH of the following items are done:
1) If items are staying, we have received prior to May 10th, a "FURNITURE INVENTORY" form. An email indicating "all items stay" is not acceptable and will result in the disposal of all items. You are responsible for coordinating lists of items that stay with your roommates.
2) ALL items that are staying need to be stacked in the center of the room with a sheet or plastic cover and an oversized sign indicating that those items are to be left for the new tenants. See below for examples:
ACCEPTABLE: Items neatly tucked under a sheet with a sign on top labelled "NEW RESIDENT." Items moved away from wall.
NOT ACCEPTABLE: Items are not stacked, covered or clearly labelled.
NOT ACCEPTABLE: Items are not stacked, covered or clearly labelled.
Disclaimer: Failure to do the items above will result in the disposal of all items; however, in any instance, we are not responsible for damaged or missing items. Items left in your apartment/house before move in date are AT YOUR OWN RISK. We must receive a list, in writing, no later than May 10th in regards to ALL items that will be left in the house. Any excessive items left in drawers, closets, or other areas will be skipped over during the cleaning and repair process. Any damage from past residents that cannot be assessed due to furniture, wall decor, etc. will become the responsibility of the new students.
You MUST submit a "DOOR CODE REQUEST" AT LEAST 3 business days prior to the date you plan on occupying the house. If you do not submit this request at least 3 business days prior to your occupancy of the house, you might not be able to access your house.
You are responsible for contacting the utility companies to have the utilities transferred into your name or the name of one of your house mates. You will save time and money*** if you contact the current renters and have the utilities changed over to your names the same day they are moving out. In order to do this, you will need to set up your account FIRST with the utility companies at least one week before you move in. To set up your accounts call: 1) Duke Energy (Electric): 800-777- 9898 2) Piedmont Natural Gas: 800-752-7504 3) Town of Elon (water, sewer & trash): 336-584–0282 4) Spectrum Cable (cable, internet, phone service): (855)243-8892 OR www.spectrum.com 5) City of Burlington Water Department 336-222-5100 (For tenants in houses in City of Burlington) ***We require gas or electric to be kept on at all times. If you are not going to be using the house for a semester, you must request that we set your thermostat to 77° and cool in the summer months or 65° and warm in the winter months. Extreme heat or cold can be detrimental for the overall welfare of the house and appliances. If you fail to take precautions, you may be held responsible for any damages. Please make sure you make arrangements to transfer the utilities into your name before the current renters move out and/or turn off the utilities. Failure to do so could result in damage to appliances, mold growth, etc.
