All residents of University-owned housing are required to sign leases called rental agreements. In signing this rental agreement, you the resident, have agreed to be responsible for any damage or breakage occurring in your apartment due to accident or negligence, and to maintain your apartment in a clean and orderly condition. The resident will care for the property and leave the property in the same condition and state of repair as when the resident first inhabited the premises, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The assignment and lease of premises in University Housing does not include the right to use such premises for any business or professional purposes, for storage of commodities for sale, or for any purpose other than personal residence.
Rental charges begin on the date the keys are issued.
Residents leaving the campus for an extended period are responsible for paying their rent throughout the period of absence. Guests staying longer than five days are defined as being in residence. Residents are required to notify WSU of any guest who will stay longer than five days. The Rental Agreement must be renewed each spring in order for the resident to occupy any Family Housing unit during the coming fall semester. Undergraduate students must be enrolled for ten or more hours.
