Question 22

Can you store my luggage for a short time after I check out?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, Brookport Apartments is unable to store any luggage after check-out due to limited space and for security reasons. You must take all your personal belongings from the property with you. Otherwise, you probably won&#x27;t get them back since the management team will clear all the things out. In case you accidentally forget something in the flat, make sure you contact the flat in the first place. If you need storage solutions, we recommend looking for secure local storage services. The on-site team of Brookport Apartments may be able to provide you with a list of nearby providers.

Question 23

What if my flatmate damages something in the flat? Do I need to split the bills?

Accepted Answer

If your flatmate damages anything in the Brookport Apartments flat, you have no responsibility for the loss or for splitting the repair bills. The entire repair costs should be borne by students who cause the damage personally. All charges will be clearly itemised and communicated to the residents involved.

While if the damage occurs in a communal area of the flat and no one takes responsibility, the repair cost will be split equally among all flatmates. So we encourage open and honest communication between flatmates to resolve these issues.

Question 24

What will happen when I arrive?

Accepted Answer

When you arrive at Brookport Apartments, the first thing you&#x27;ll need to do is check in at the reception. The on-site team will greet you there and assist you with the entire process.

Question 25

What can I do if I lose my keys and get locked out?
