<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Evacuation of University buildings is mandatory when a fire alarm sounds. Sounding of false fire alarms or tampering with firefighting or safety equipment to include extinguishers, fire sprinklers, and connecting
pipes, EXIT signs, and the alarm system is prohibited. Those suspected of such offenses are subject to criminal prosecution, eviction from university housing, and/or suspension from the University, and may be required to pay fines and/or restitution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Pest Control:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Students must allow Housing staff and our pest control professionals access to the room/apartment at reasonable times to inspect for or treat pest/bed bugs. You and your family members, occupants, guests, and invitees
must cooperate and must not interfere with inspections or treatments. We have the right to select any licensed pest control professional to treat the apartment and building. We can select the method of treating the apartment, building, and common areas for
bed bugs. You are responsible for and must, at your own expense, have your own personal property, furniture, clothing, and possessions treated according to accepted treatment methods established by a licensed pest control technician.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">You must report any signs of pest/bed bugs within 48 hours of discovery to your RA, Housing Coordinator, or to the Residence Life Office, or you may submit a maintenance request. Do not wait to report evidence
of pests/bed bugs. Even a few bugs can rapidly multiply to create a major infestation. When an infestation is caught early, treatment is often much quicker and less disruptive than when the infestation is more advanced. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Successful treatment of a pest/bed bug infestation is dependent on your full cooperation. If we confirm the presence of pest/bed bugs, you must cooperate and coordinate with us and our pest control professionals
to treat and eliminate the pest/bed bugs. You must follow all directions from us and our agents to clean and treat the apartment or building that is infested. Follow-up treatments or inspections may also be necessary. You shall not treat the apartment for
pest/bed bug infestation on your own. You must remove or treat personal property that cannot be treated or cleaned before we treat the dwelling. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If we confirm the presence or infestation of pest/bed bugs in your dwelling, we have the right to require you to temporarily vacate the dwelling and remove all furniture, clothing, and personal belongings so we
perform pest control services. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If you do not comply with the preparation of the apartment as required by the pest control professional or the treatment is unsuccessful because of lack of cooperation, you will also be responsible for subsequent
treatments to the apartment and for any treatment to adjoining units that are infested with pests/bed bugs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If you are required to pay for any pest control services, it will be clearly communicated to you through the student’s USAO email address. The charges will be applied to the student’s Bursar account. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If for any reason the student brings in any pest/bed bugs into the room/apartment they need to follow pest/bed bug policy set out in the housing policies and be charged a treatment/cleaning fine along with any
furniture or materials that need to discard that is property of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Neither Owner nor Owner’s agents and employees shall be responsible to you for any losses, damages, or expenses including special, consequential, or punitive arising out of a bed bug infestation, inspection, or
treatment. Failure to promptly report bed bugs, failure to comply with treatment instructions or any other violation of any other policy are grounds for eviction. The student will remain liable for any costs and damages incurred. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
