to a rebate for the Christmas holiday even though you are not living in your room at that time. But you may leave your possessions in your room during the Christmas holidays without paying anything extra. If the house director plans to have other people in your room during vacation periods, she must have your written consent first. Also, she must assume full responsibility for any damage to, or any loss of, your property. The University residence halls are exceptions. Because you pay no room rent during the Christmas holidays in University Residence Halls, the space belongs to the University during this period. In Case of Withdrawal If you withdraw from the University, you are supposed to remove all your belongings from the room within 48 hours after the official date of your withdrawal. You are supposed to pay rent, of course, up to and including the day you move out.

(1) Room rental agreements end: if you and the house director agree to such action and have the written permission of the Housing Division. If you recommend a substitute roomer, the house director first must agree to take a substitution, and the Housing Division also must give written permission. In that case your contract will end on the day that the substitute roomer and the house director sign their agreement. (2) If you and the house director disagree about ending your contract, here's what you do: File a written notice that you intend to end your agreement with the house director, and send a copy to the Housing Division. Then the Director of Housing can find out what it is all about and decide whether you have reasonable grounds for ending the agreement. Either you or the house director may have the case reviewed by an appeal board. The board will be made up of three people, including one person you choose, one picked by the house director, plus the chairman of the Housing Advisory Board, ex officio. Whatever the Director of Housing (or the appeal board) says is final. (3) Room rental agreements end automatically if you withdraw from the University officially for any reason. The ending date is the day you officially withdraw. (4) Room rental agreements end if you get married, or if you tell the house director that you are married after signing a contract with her. When you tell her, the director or operator can end the contract and make you pay the rent due up to that date, plus one-half of the amount still due when you ask for, or are told of, your release from contract. If you find a suitable substitute, and if the substitute and the house director make an agreement, you owe only for the time before the new agreement takes effect. (5) Room rental agreements end if the house director includes any provision in the contract (such as payment for board) which is not part of the approved contract form put out by the Housing Division. (6) Room rental agreements end if the University revokes approval of the home.
