Microchill Unit
This lease agreement is nontransferable and is only valid for residents with a current Residence Halls or Apartment Housing Agreement.
Students living in any of our apartment areas, including Benchmark Plaza, Shoreline Ridge, Downtown Commons or Marriott Honors Community will have Microwaves in the common area of their apartment. You still are allowed to rent a Microchill Unit for your personal bedroom if you choose to. The Microchill Unit will be delivered to your room for you! View the product.
The renter (student) agrees to the following:
- At termination of this agreement, the renter shall return the microwave to the location designated in the semester closing materials in the same condition; normal wear and tear is accepted. The renter understands that if the equipment is damaged, or parts are missing, due to negligence, misuse, or for any other reason, the renter is responsible and will pay for its replacement. The renter is also responsible for replacement cost if the Microwave is not returned (whether due to loss, theft, vandalism, etc.). The charge for this will be based on market value.
- If the renter wishes to terminate the agreement during a normal school year contract (two full semesters), the rental will be refunded per unused semester. No refund will be given after the second week of the semester.
- The renter will return the Microwave unit to the designated location at the end of the contract term clean and dry (dry being interpreted as “no moisture evident to the touch in the unit”). Renter will be charged $23.00 if the unit is not clean and dry. It is the renter’s responsibility to return the Microwave; it will not be picked up by Housing & Residential Education staff.
- If the Microchill Unit is found abandoned in a room or building, the fee will be $25.00. Remember the contract is under your name and it is your responsibility, (not your roommate or resident advisor), to return the Microwave as agreed.
- Any damages to the unit or applicable charges will be charged to the student’s Tuition & Housing account.
