Common use of Empty Bedspace Clause in Contracts

Empty Bedspace.

Request assignment to another room or request a specific roommate move into the unoccupied space. The Resident will be given the opportunity to request a roommate and have him or her complete the move by a specific deadline. ii. Demonstrate willingness to accept a roommate at any time as directed by Student Housing, which means leaving the room in appropriate condition to accept another roommate any time during the contract period. The Resident does not have the option to reject a roommate assignment. Any inappropriate behavior, including not having the room in appropriate condition as specified by Student Housing to accept another roommate, or communication with the prospective roommate discouraging him or her from accepting the assignment, may result in relocation of the Resident to a new space and/or legal obligation to pay for a privatized room (if applicable), in addition to disciplinary action.
