Accommodation inventory
Within 24 hours of moving in to your accommodation, we’ll send an email to your "@york.ac.uk" address with a link to an online inventory form. You should carefully check your accommodation and use the form to note things like damage and stains. You should submit your completed inventory within 48 hours of receiving the link. Please note that if anything does require repair you should also report this online as we do not monitor the inventory for repairs.
