What happens if I do not follow the accommodation policies?

Our policies have been put in place to ensure our residences are a safe environment for all. Failure to follow the policies may lead to disciplinary action being taken against you, with outcomes ranging from safety training to a monetary fine or eviction.

Do the managed partnership residences have their own policies?
