What day-to-day maintenance am I responsible for?

As an Enclave: Student resident, you’re expected to take care of basic day-to-day maintenance in your apartment. These small tasks keep your home in good condition and help prevent bigger issues from developing. Your responsibilities • Cleaning: Regularly clean floors, surfaces, kitchens, and bathrooms. • Ventilation: Open windows and use extractor fans to reduce condensation and prevent mould. • Appliance care: Empty dishwasher and tumble dryer filters, clean washing machine drawers, and defrost the fridge-freezer if needed. • Light bulbs and batteries: Replace light bulbs and batteries in smoke alarms (if battery-operated). • Bins and waste: Empty household bins regularly and use recycling facilities properly. • Minor fixes: Tightening loose screws, replacing shower hoses, or dealing with small upkeep issues. Why it matters • Keeps your apartment comfortable and hygienic. • Protects your deposit by preventing damage from neglect. • Ensures repairs are only needed when truly necessary. Helpful tip If you’re unsure whether something is your responsibility or the landlord’s, use a simple rule: if it’s routine upkeep, it’s yours. If it’s structural, safety-related, or provided equipment failing, it’s Enclave’s responsibility.
