The following FAQ page will list different forms of acceptable evidence in order to issue a formal leasing violation for occupying a non-leased space.
Bedroom numbering: On move-in day, it is the roommate’s sole responsibility to confirm the bedroom number with Landlord and ensure they are moving into the correct bedroom. If a roommate moves into an incorrect bedroom, there will be a 24 hour grace period, upon notice, to move back to the correct bedroom. Thereafter, a $100 fine is applied for each day of noncompliance, in addition to any reasonable associated cleaning fees as determined by the Landlord. (Page 4).
