Why Complete Your Room Inventory?

When you move in, completing your Room Inventory (Move-In Inspection) is one of the most important steps. Think of it as your receipt for the condition of your space—it protects you from being charged later for damage that wasn’t your responsibility.

Here’s why it matters:

Protect yourself. Documenting the condition of your space means you won’t be charged for damage that was there before you arrived.
Save money. A careful inventory now could prevent unnecessary charges later.
Help with maintenance. Noting anything that’s broken or damaged helps staff fix issues faster.
Show respect. Taking care of your space means it’s ready for the next student who lives there.

Take five minutes now, save yourself a headache later. If you have any questions about your room inventory, please contact housingassignments@du.edu.
