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.
Utilities are not automatically on when you move in (electric, water, hot water, etc.), so you’ll need to set those up ahead of time.
You’re responsible for putting the utilities in your name (or one roommate’s name). The easiest way to avoid any downtime is to coordinate with the current tenants and have everything switched over the same day they move out.
Important: set up your accounts at least one week before move-in so everything transfers smoothly.
Utility providers:
Duke Energy (electric): 800-777-9898

A couple important notes:
Gas or electric must stay on at all times
If you won’t be living there for a semester, let us know so we can set the thermostat:
Summer: 77° (cool)
Winter: 65° (heat)
If utilities get shut off, it can cause issues like damaged appliances or mold—and you could be responsible for that.
Bottom line: make sure utilities are transferred before the current tenants move out so there’s no gap in service.
