Common use of Common Area Damage Clause in Contracts

Common Area Damage. Residents will be required to maintain a deposit to defray costs of repair to public areas in and outside the residence halls throughout each semester the residents live on campus. This deposit policy is in line with SUNY regulations and is intended to curtail vandalism in the halls as well as to help the College recover its costs for cleaning and/or repairing common area surfaces, structures or windows (in lounges, hallways, stairways, etc.) and for replacing, repairing or servicing discharged, damaged or missing fire equipment. The policy will be used only in cases where responsibility for damages cannot be determined.
