In order to provide the highest quality service, and to minimize issues with telephone orders, residents may not activate telephone service prior to moving in. Residents may choose to share a phone line that rings throughtout the apartment and/or install separate telephone lines in each of the bedrooms and in the living room. Please go to http://www.housing.uci.edu/telephone/ for more information.

An Apartment Condition Report has been completed by your Resident Advisor (RA), and will be in your apartment upon your move-in. It is very important that you and your roommates complete the “Residents Check-In Condition” column on this form to protect yourselves from being billed for pre-existing damages.  Please note the following:

• When you arrive in your apartment, please take a few minutes with your roommates to document the condition of your entire apartment.
• Note all damages you find in the apartment—include any items you could be billed for such as stains in the carpet, marks or holes in the walls, stains and damage to the furniture, stickers on walls and ceilings, and the configuration of the furniture (oak loft furniture should be lofted).
• Once you and your roommates have completed and signed the Apartment Condition Report, please return it to the Campus Village Housing Office by October 7, 2011.

The condition of the apartment when you move out is compared to the items you list on the form now to determine what, if any, damages occurred while you were living there. Residents who do not return the reports by the deadline will be assessed damage charges based on the assumption that everything in the apartment is in "acceptable condition" at the time of move-in.
