Refer to the dormitory for any designated smoking areas, if any. Note that fireworks are not allowed. Thoughtful behaviour Be social – be helpful – be tolerant - this will help you all have a good experience. Heating, water and electricity You are expected to keep consumption of heating, water and electricity at a reasonable level according to the Danish Government Energy Guidelines. This means: Normal indoor temperature is 20-22 °C You should never open windows and turn on the heating at the same time. Always turn off the lights when leaving a room, even for short periods Do not leave the water running for longer periods Turn down the heating when you leave the room for longer periods and at night Noise Radios, sound systems, musical instruments and other noisemaking machines or equipment may only be used if the necessary respect is shown for the other inhabitants and never with the windows open. Please keep quiet between 22.00 and 8.00 hrs. Minimize risk of theft To ensure the residents’ security, all outside doors must be locked all the time. When leaving your room, make sure that all windows are closed. Remember that your possessions, as well as everybody else’s, will not be covered by insurance if there is a break-in and it is found that the windows or doors were not locked. You are responsible for taking out your own insurance while staying at the premises. 4 Cleaning and maintenance PLEASE NOTE: The water in Denmark and in the Copenhagen-area in particular, is very hard; it contains a lot of limestone. Make sure to decalcify electric water kettles with vinegar or acetic acid, and use an acidic cleaning solution when cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. Please organise a cleaning schedule of the common areas with your neighbours. In general it is good practice to at least follow the following in the kitchen: Please do your own dishes with soap and hot water, and put the utensils back in their places. Please remember to wrap your food in the refrigerator, and dispose of food that is no longer fresh. Bathrooms Throw only toilet paper into the toilet in order not to clog the drain. Remove hair from the drain cover after every shower to avoid clogging. Use a drain cleaner (a plunger or an alkaline solution like “afløbsrens”) in case the drain is not working properly. Garbage/waste Do not leave garbage in your room or in common areas. Take out the bag immediately and put it in the right container. It is not allowed to leave garbage on the ground outside! Please condense all garbage as much as possible (flatten cartons and other containers, for example). The garbage collectors will only collect a set amount of garbage each week, and there is no way to dispose of any surplus. Please note that glass bottles, paper and cardboard should be put in special containers. Laundry facilities The laundry facilities are placed through the door opposite the inspectors’, down the stairs and through the door on your right. You use your laundry chip to pay and this is already included in your rent. Please follow the instructions on the Automat, to make reservations and starting the machines. Activation codes can be obtained at the inspector’s office (see below for location and opening hours). Also contact the inspector’s office if you lose your chip or code. Internet You need a cable (some kitchens have wireless, ask the other residents),and the Kampsax Council will grant you internet access. They can be contacted at [email protected]. Inventory In your room you should find the most basic furniture: a bed, a desk, a chair, a bookshelf, and a wardrobe or a clothing rack. The previous tenant might have left extra inventory or stuff that might be useful to you (like cleaners or an extra chair). Keep what you find useful and thrown the rest out. 5 Check the condition of the light bulbs and the furniture when you first move in. In case some of the inventory is damaged, please inform the Accommodation Office, so it can be replaced.
