At the end of your contract, you may be issued with charges due to any damages or cleaning issues within your flat.
The term ‘damages’ in this context can apply to damage to any part of the property which can be purposeful, neglectful or accidental. It can also apply to cleaning costs or for replacing missing items. Unless we have information otherwise, damages in communal areas tend to be split amongst household members.
Your room should be left in a clean and tidy manner without rubbish, the state in which you moved in.
