We want YOU back at

The Courtyards!

Do you know where you are living next year? Do you have roommates who are graduating? It’s time to renew your lease! All Courtyards residents who wish to return for the Fall 2015/

Spring 2016 lease year will need to complete the Intent to Return Form. The form will be available 24 hours a day, online, as

of January 21, 2015. The submission deadline is February 11 by 11:59 pm. Missing this deadline will prohibit a resident from

retaining their space in The Courtyards.

If you have roommates who are graduating or moving out, you have an opportunity to pull-in a roommate for next year. If you would like to pull-in someone, you will need to submit that student’s name, UID number, and email address when you submit

your intention form online before the deadline. Please note, your pull in must also submit an application. (If you do not intend to pull anyone in, you will still need to complete the

pull in section and click “opt out”).

Attend our Renewal Process session on January 25th at 2 or January 26th at 3 in the Clubhouse to learn more about the renewal process and ask any questions you may have! Visit https://mydrl.umd.edu/ for the Intention to Renew form and for applications for potential pull-ins (or friends who want to

live in The Courtyards).

Each apartment that participates in the Courtyards Tour

Program will receive a reward for use of their

apartment. Residents are not required to be home while the tours are being conducted.

opportunity, please contact the Associate Director, David McGarvey,

Helpful Garbage Disposal Tips Please follow these handy tips for keeping your garbage disposal working & clean

1. Do not throw fibrous foods in the disposal (e.g. celery, onions, husked foods), the twist around the blades and cause damage.

2. Do not pour grease, fats, or other oils down the drains as they build up and clog both the pipes and the disposal. This often causes foul odors.

3. Do not throw away garbage in the disposal regardless of size. These items include paper, metal, plastic, glass, and wood. If any of these items happen to fall into the

disposal please place a work order to have a maintenance staff member remove the items for you.

4. Hard to grind items should not be put in the disposal. This includes bones, rice, pasta and other starchy foods which cause clogs in the system.

5. Clean your drain regularly with an all-purpose cleaners, vinegar, or citrus fruits to help cut grease and clear odors.
