Garbage

Correct handling of waste is part of Sit's Regulations for student housing. Any costs incurred to Sit as a result of breaching the Regulations for student housing will be charged to the tenant, cf. the Tenancy agreement § 14-1. Breaching the Regulations for student housing can result in written warnings, termination of the housing contract, and, in very serious cases, annulling of the housing contract, cf. the Tenancy agreement §§14-3 and 14-4.

• Waste should never be kept in stairways, entrances, shared corridors or basement areas.
• Waste must always be properly packed and disposed of at designated areas.
• Waste must never be left outside the waste containers.
• All student villages have designated containers for various kinds of recyclable waste, and all tenants must sort their waste accordingly before disposing of it.

• You must never place waste next to the waste container, in the stairway, or any other place outside of your own apartment, because this type of waste attracts insects, birds, rats, and other vermin.
