Right of Entry
The University shall have the right to enter the Premises occupied by the Licensee for the purposes of emergency, health, safety, maintenance, enforcement of applicable rules and regulations, or for any lawful purpose to the extent permissible by law. The University shall exercise this right reasonably and with respect for the Licensee’s right to be free from unreasonable searches and intrusions into privacy and study space. While the staff will announce themselves before entering, these entries may be unscheduled.
Rental Insurance
The University does not assume liability for any property of the Licensee that is stolen, damaged, vandalized, or destroyed while on the Premises and at any time, including periods when the Licensee is not in occupancy or after the term of the occupancy has expired. The University has no insurance to cover personal or property damage of the Licensee, so during the period covered by this Agreement, the University requires that the Licensee, at the expense of the Licensee, obtain renter’s insurance. The Licensee shall purchase a renter’s insurance policy or provide proof of insurance coverage through the online Housing Application process. Please note that if the Licensee purchases insurance from the suggested vendor, GradGuard, payment is made directly to the vendor. For additional information, please refer to the GradGuard page in the online Housing Application.
Emergency Medical Transport
In alignment with the City of Sacramento's fee schedule for emergency transport, the licensee should be aware of the following:
1. In the event the paramedics or fire department responds to a student concern, the Licensee will be billed by the City of Sacramento according to the City of Sacramento Fee Schedule for the Fire Department: Advance Life Support. Bills will be sent to the student’s campus address.
2. For information on the specific charges, go to https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Online-Services/FeeChargeSearch.
Non-waiver of Breach
The waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach. The University’s acceptance of rent with knowledge of the Licensee’s violation of a provision or covenant of this Agreement does not waive the University’s right to enforce any provision or covenant of this Agreement.
Taxable Possessory Interest
It is the position of the University that this Agreement does not create a taxable possessory interest in real property. However, pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code subsection 107.6, the Licensee is hereby notified that a taxing authority may take a contrary view and may assess Licensee property taxes based on Licensee’s interest in this Agreement.
