If problems arise with children in the apartment complex, please talk directly with the parent(s). If disputes or problems continue, please contact the apartment manager or apartment complex coordinator. The resident is responsible for the actions of children who occupy their apartment. Children must be properly supervised at all times. Neglect of parental responsibility may result in eviction. The resident shall be financially responsible for the actions of the children. Improper conduct of a child could result in cancellation of the lease agreement. STUDENTS WITH DEPENDANTS Students with dependants are defined as a student and spouse and/ or student with children who are declared legal dependents. 1. Students with dependants are no different from any other students in that their primary goal is to succeed in their studies. Their challenge is having additional responsibilities of caring for children and finding time to balance all this with their studies. Noise that wakes up children or distracts from limited study time tends to be the greatest problem. Walls are thin and even several guests talking late or a moderate level of music can wake a sleeping baby. Single students may experience noise of children playing during the day. However, it is expected that the noise quiets around 8 p.m. when many children are going to bed. 2. Behavior that is disruptive will not be tolerated. Families and individuals are expected to work out their differences as outlined in our Responsible Freedom expectation. Any differences that cannot be settled or continued disruptive behavior will be handled by a conduct meeting with the apartment complex coordinator. 3. Apartment residents need to make their guests aware of the apartment policies. Visitors can be a concern for a number of reasons. Some common complaints about visitors are: • Speeding • Drivers of vehicles not being careful around children playing or riding their bikes in the parking lots • Car horns sounding when pulling up to pick up residents or loud car stereos
