Housing Occupancy Policies & Guidelines
Check-Out Procedure[back to top]
Students are expected to clean their rooms or apartments before leaving and to return the room to a condition ready for occupancy [this includes returning any furnishings removed at any time during the year]. The student is responsible for having the unit checked, locking the door, returning the keys, and checking out at the desk with the House Manager before leaving. Failure to do so will result in a fine. Rent continues to be charged until all keys are surrendered to the House Manager.
Students with Disabilities[back to top]
Please Note: If you need accessible housing due to a disability, you must provide medical documentation to support your request. You may send your documentation directly to the Housing Office, or to the Disability Services Office [DSO] to be forwarded to Housing. Determination of such housing request will be made in consultation with MIT Medical.
Spaces designated for students with disabilities may be assigned to other students with the understanding that a transfer to a different space may be required during the contract-period if a unit designated for students with disabilities is needed for a student who requires one. Such a transfer would be arranged quickly to avoid inconvenience to the individuals involved. Rent for a new space assigned will be charged from the day of transfer.
Energy Cost Fluctuation [back to top]
MIT Housing may review energy costs and may adjust rents accordingly to absorb these cost fluctuations.
