Residence Conduct
Unit/Suite Changes requested by Casa Student Housing Service:
The Student Housing Services may request that students change units for various practical reasons (maintenance, logistics, availability, etc.). We will provide notice and make every effort to ensure comfort and security for each student.
Unit/Suite Changes Requested by Students:
If a student requests to move to another unit, we will evaluate the situation according to availability and reasonable cause.
**A new placement fee must be applied.
Storage/Safe boxes:
Each apartment and bedroom are similar but may offer different storage layouts. All units have enough room for students to store belongings if they are light travellers. Each student is responsible for keeping their valuables.
Lost or Stolen:
We will not be held liable for any lost or stolen items and are not responsible for your belongings. Loss by alleged theft should be reported to the police. If students require better protection for some valuables, consider renting a safety deposit box at one of the many banks nearby.
Damages and Lost Keys:
All appliances and furniture are to be kept in their original condition. Students cannot remove, repair, paint, or alter any other unit. If a student/reseller causes any damage to the premises, furniture, or appliances or lost keys and fobs, they will be charged the cost of its repair or replacement. We will issue an invoice to cover the damages.
Visitors:
Students are allowed a maximum of 1 visitor per student, but only in the unit's common areas. They are welcome anytime between 8 am and 9 pm. Visitors are not permitted to stay overnight. You will be charged a penalty fee if a visitor stays overnight.
Please remember you share the unit with other guests; please respect their space and let them know when you bring a visitor. Residents are responsible for the visitors in and ensuring they follow the guidelines of the residence. Visitors are only permitted in the unit/building with a resident in attendance. Parties are not allowed. We reserve the right to enforce visitor restrictions.
Quiet Hours:
After 10 pm every evening to the following morning at 8 am (Quiet hours 10pm to 8am) TV, music, voices, and any noise must be kept very low during the quiet hours.
Smoking/Vaping and Cannabis:
Smoking/Vaping and Cannabis are not permitted anywhere inside the units or anywhere in the building, including balconies, fire escapes, or rooftop patios. Penalty fines for non-compliance will be applied without warning.
By law, individuals must smoke at least 6 meters from the entrance of any building in the city. Penalty fines for non-compliance will be applied as enforced by the city of Toronto/Vancouver and Casa Student Housing Services.
Drugs or Illegal Substances:
Drugs or illegal substances are forbidden on the premises; following this policy will result in immediate expulsion without a refund.
Violence and Harassment:
Fighting, bullying, teasing, acts of violence or aggression, and harassment are not tolerated and will result in the expulsion of the student/resellers involved without a refund.
Personal Needs/Special Requirements:
Please advise Student Housing Services of any personal needs on the application form to ensure proper accommodation and to best serve the student. We need to be aware of any physical disability, mental impairment, learning disability, or mental disorder in advance. Please do so to avoid a residence change or a disqualification for the Accommodation Program.
To provide a safe, fair, respectful, and comfortable stay for all students, penalty fines are imposed for failure to comply with policies and guidelines. Failure to comply will result in a discussion, verbal warnings, written warnings first and escalate to penalty fines. Violence, harassment, disorderly conduct, or any act causing danger or harm or potential harm to students, property damage, use of illegal substances, unpaid bills, and unwelcome visitors are all grounds for immediate dismissal without a refund.
