If you are planning vacation leave, here are a few simple tips to keep your house in good condition and protect your valuables while you’re away:
- To help stop leaks, shut off the water valves and the flexible hoses underneath your kitchen and bathroom sinks.
- To avoid condensation and the formation of mold, leave the air conditioner on auto and set it to 27C (80.6F).
- To prevent flooding if a water leak occurs, ensure that all floor drains are uncovered.
- To avoid condensation, make certain that all doors and windows are closed.
- Lock and secure the roof access.
- Make arrangements for the upkeep of your backyard, as required by Clause 14 of the Housing Agreement by calling 959, Gardening at 808 5480, or by e-mail at gardening@kaust.edu.sa.
- Assign a caretaker. Complete the Caretaker Form, and send it to Housing at housing@kaust.edu.sa.
For any clarification, please contact Housing at 808 6555 or by email at housing@kaust.edu.sa. You may contact Maintenance via the KAUST Helpdesk by dialing 959.
Remember, protecting your possessions and your rented unit is your responsibility.
