• Apartments are assigned on a first come first served basis. Applications will be made available in early Spring. Haverford College students get first priority, followed by Bryn Mawr students and then all others.
• Rent is due at the first of the month. Late charges will apply if rent is not paid on time.
• Air Conditioners: Air Conditioners are available for rent for $100/unit/month. The rental includes installation and removal. If you would like to supply your own unit there is a $30/unit/month charge (installed by renter). There will be a charge for any damage to the window frame.
• Summer Repairs and Improvements: We will be completing repairs and improvements to many of the apartments during the summer. Some apartments will receive repairs that do not require the apartment to be vacant; students will be notified 24 hours before those repairs take place. In the event that major improvements and/or repairs will take place in your apartment that require the apartment to be vacated, by signing the lease you agree to move to another assigned apartment for the remainder of the summer. You will be asked to move only once.

The lease link and instructions will be emailed to you.

The HCA lease must be filled out with all occupants of the apartment. If any information is incorrect the lease will not be accepted and you will need to resubmit.

You will receive email confirmation when your lease is submitted. You will also receive email confirmation when the lease has been approved.

  Lock Out & Lost Keys

If you are locked out of your apartment during the summer months the lock out procedure will be:

1. Call Security from an emergency phone outside of your building or dial 610-896-1111
2. You will be billed $25 per lock out, which will be due as part of your next month's rent (there will be no exceptions)
3. You must show your ID and key to the officer who admits you back into your apartment
4. Lock outs receive the lowest priority. Security handles emergencies and other requests first; there may be a significant wait time

If you have lost your summer HCA key, the HCA Summer Housing Office will be notified by Security and you will have until 12noon the next business day to prove whether or not you have found the key. If you have lost your key you will be charged ($125.00) for a lock change and receive new keys for your apartment.

If you have any questions regarding the policies above please email hcasummerhousing@haverford.edu.

1. I have not secured a summer job yet but I still want to sign up for an apartment in case I am able to get a job. Can I apply and back out later?
   Yes, we strongly suggest that you apply now. On the application please indicate that your summer job is TBD. If you secure a summer position please email us (hcasummerhousing@haverford.edu) so we can update your application. If you are unable to find a job or decide you do not want an HCA apartment for the summer you can back out at anytime before signing the lease.
2. Why do we move into Gummere for the first week of housing?
   In previous years most (if not all) apartments have needed significant cleaning and repairs. Many students were extremely unhappy with the move in conditions. In order to respond to these concerns, and address serious problems before the new academic year, Facilities is going to do a light cleaning and make major repairs and/or schedule repairs prior to summer occupants moving in. The nature of the cleaning and repairs will be such that apartments cannot be occupied during this week. We have made rooms available in Gummere for the first week of the summer at a reduced rate.
3. Will there be help available for moving my things from Gummere to HCA?
   Yes, a truck will be available on Saturday, May 26, 2018 from 8:00am to 4:00pm. The truck will be on Hall Drive (near Gummere 1st/1st) on the hour (8am, 9am, 10am,...,4pm). You are responsible for putting all of your belongings in the truck and removing them at the HCA drop points. The truck will only transport belongings, no passengers.
4. Gummere does not have any cooking facilities; will there be any type of meals offered?
   We are not able to offer a meal plan during this time. The Coop is open for breakfast and lunch.
5. If I don't want Facilities to clean or make repairs to my apartment, can I move in on May 20, 2018?
   No, we are unable to make any exceptions to the new policy. The nature of the cleaning and repair work will not permit occupancy of the apartment buildings during this week. Facilities needs to get into every apartment, with no occupants, in order to assess necessary damages and repairs. We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve HCA life during the academic year.
6. Can more than 3 people live in a two bedroom and more than 2 live in a one bedroom apartment?
   No. HCA summer rentals are handled differently than school year housing. The maximum occupancy for a 2 bedroom apartment is 3 people. The maximum occupancy for a 1 bedroom apartment is 2 people. There are no exceptions.
7. I am currently living at HCA and would like to remain in my apartment for the summer. Is this possible?
   It is highly likely you will be assigned a new apartment as part of the application process. We will do our best to honor requests, but we can not guarantee a specific apartment. In addition, all apartments must be vacated according to the deadlines on the Housing summer closing notice.
8. Is it possible to stay in my apartment after the lease expiration date?
   No. We are unable to give extensions because of the short period between summer housing and the school year. In order to make necessary repairs, we must have all apartments vacated by August 4, 2018 12 noon. We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve HCA life during the academic year.
