I couldn't remember how much they took. 90 each is probably more like it. So 540e total... Expensive lightbulb they put in the hall after we broke it that one night. :P

Let's not forget the chair incident:D

€237 has been lodged into my bank account!

wnolan1992

€15 has been lodged to my account!

Two possibilities:
a) They took €250 for a deposit for next year and I had a surplus of €15
b) They took €235 for damages

If it's case b), mid's post will be of immense value to me. :P

Got a total of €53 back from Plassey this year. Lovely!

Got 140 back from Kilmurry. Charged us a total of 112.76 for a sofa which we (myself and my mother) had reported at the start of the year and, although I've only just sent the email requesting a breakdown of energy charges, I'm fairly sure the over-run in energy was due to when the plumbers left the water boiler on constant trying to fix us. Surely, they haven't charged us an over run in energy from a boiler that wasn't working for the guts of a month at the start of the year?

Got the invoice during the week. €15 back, no damage charges, and a deposit rollover.

Me -> :D:D:D:D:D

Said at the bottom of the letter "Damage charges amounted to €1.44, which was divided among 9 housemates." :P

A friend told me today that there is a new Inventory Replacement list -
http://www.studentliving.ul.ie/media...gecharges1.pdf

So replacing a fire blanket will cost €26 instead of €200,
fire extinguisher will cost €60 instead of €200 and
vacuum cleaner will cost €85 instead of €150.

Its not very often you hear of a business giving massive reductions like this.

i wouldn't call it 'massive reductions', they've just reduced the replacement charges to what they are legally entitled to charge because people started to question them.
(and this is what they should have been charging since the beginning)

Hey guys,

I know this has nothing to do with deposits, I'm actually looking for accommodation for next year (4th year). I dont want to live on campus anymore as its too dear and there is no way I'm going into one of the houses in College court. I was just looking at Troy student village p://troystudentvillage.com/ . Has anyone ever stayed here, it looks nice and the prices are reasonable too??

Ave Sodalis

See the cleaning thing... does that apply to off-campus houses too?

Also, would a crack in a bath (didn't know it existed until we got a run down of the deposit), be considered above normal wear and tear?
