room. All residents in a converted space will receive a 20% housing credit. If occupancy of a converted space drops to the original designed capacity, the 20% credit will cease. A 20% credit will be given to residents of temporary spaces until they are relocated to a permanent residential space. Once the resident in a temporary space is assigned to a permanent space, they will be charged the full, pro-rated amount for the new space, and the 20% credit will cease. This credit does not apply to dining plans. Complete details regarding converted space housing are available in the Converted Housing at DePaul brochure and on the Housing Services’ website.


10. ACCESS: DePaul reserves the right to enter a student’s housing space for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: conducting inspections; making necessary repairs, alterations, or improvements; supplying necessary services; when there is reasonable cause to believe a violation of DePaul policy has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur; exhibiting the premises to service personnel or contractors; or as is otherwise necessary in the operation and protection of the premises or occupants therein. In the case of an apparent or actual emergency or a potential violation of DePaul policy, DePaul may enter the student’s housing space, at any time, without prior notice. In all other situations, DePaul shall attempt to arrange for entry into the housing space with one or more occupants of the room, suite or apartment. If reasonable arrangements are impractical or refused, entry shall be made upon 24 hours notice.


11. CARE OF FACILITIES: DePaul shall keep all student housing premises in reasonable repair during the term of this Agreement, including maintaining the premises in compliance with applicable regulations imposed by appropriate governmental authorities. DePaul will endeavor to make all necessary repairs to a housing space within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from the student requesting the repairs via established procedures. In the event of an emergency maintenance issue, the student must ensure that the concern is promptly called in to the appropriate office; DePaul will endeavor to make emergency repairs within a reasonable timeframe. The student shall maintain the housing space in a clean and orderly condition and make no alterations to the premises, including, but not limited to: installing locks or safes; erecting partitions or attaching anything to ceilings, walls, floors or exteriors. Students agree to pay for any damage and/or cleaning charges to their assigned room, suite or apartment (less reasonable wear and tear), as well as any charges for missing items from their room, suite or apartment. When damage occurs in common areas and Housing Services does not know the source of the damage, charges will be split among the community of that room, suite, apartment, or facility as appropriate.
