The Official Carr-Saunders Hall Thread 2011

Fridges: Fridges are allowed in residents' room, however we do have some strict guidelines that must be adhered to:

The fridge must be under guarantee (a copy must be provided), 'frost-free' or 'auto defrost', measuring no more that (HWD) 850mm x 550 x 600mm.

There will be a charge of £10 per term payable at the start of each term together with your termly rent invoice.

Residents' can leave the fridge in their room during the Christmas and Easter vacation period, however if you do decide to do so it is at your own risk.

If a resident chooses to leave the fridge in their room during the vacation, then it must be left in a clean state. Failure to do so will result in a cleaning charge of £10.00 being imposed on the resident concerned.

All wiring and connections must fully comply with the British Safety Standard (BSS) requirements. If it is found that an electrical fault occurs as a result of a breach of these standards then a charge of £50 will be made if the fault can be rectified in-house or if not then the resident concerned will bear the full cost of an electricians call-out charge.

Any damage caused to the carpet, walls etc., will be charged to the resident.

If a resident fails to take their fridge with them on their departure from the Hall in the Summer Term, then a charge of £60 will be made to the person concerned for the safe disposal.

There will be no trunk room storage facilities for fridges.

Bear in mind that UK electricity is 220 - 240 volts and 50 hertz. Thus, some foreign-source items may be unsuitable. Further information on use of electrical items will be found on a separate handout.
