It is the tennant's own responsibility to maintain the drain, both in the kitchens and showers. If the tennant cannot properly clean the drain. If professional help is needed, the bill will be charged to the tennant through next month's rent after cleaning has occured.

In case of a clogged drain in the shared kitchens due to misuse or failure to clean properly, the repair/cleaning expenses will be spread across the tennants who primarily use the kitchen.

To prevent clogged drains, we recommend pouring three liters of boiling water down the drain once a week. This should help to remove dirt and other things clogging the drain.

The college is covered by the rules in executive order no. 212 of 27th March 2008 on operational regulations for hotels etc., care institutions, meeting rooms, teaching rooms, daycare centers and shops. From point 5.1 of the regulations, it states that escape routes must be kept clear and tidy throughout their entire width

The municipal council (fire department) can, however, allow corridors or yard areas (but not stairs) to be used for purposes other than traffic, if the escape route width is not reduced or if the fire load of the escape route corridor is not increased significantly.

This therefore means that the college must submit detailed proposals for placing furniture in the living areas. The proposal must also describe the materials the furniture is made of. After receiving the proposal, the fire service will deal with the issue, including taking a decision on any conditions for an approval.

Regardless of where you park on the college premises, there must always be a parking permit in the windscreen. Read more about the rules here.

Nothing must be left on the escape routes (aisles). The law stipulates that escape routes must be free. If the resident places shoes, drying racks or anything else that prevents people from being able to pass in the event of a fire, the resident in question will receive a reminder.

1. Keep the ovens in the kitchens clean so that smoke/smoke does not form
2. Stay in the kitchen when cooking so nothing burns

The type of cable you need is an ethernet cable RJ-45 cat5e (not crossed cable) and connect it from the green plug in the wall to your computer. With the wired connection you get up to 100 mbit (varies according to how many people are on the network at the given time).
