GENERAL INFORMATION
Bilkent University faculty housing apartments are located on the Main, Middle and East
Campus areas. Apartments come in different sizes and well equipped for the comfort and
convenience of the residents.
MONTHLY CHARGES:
There is a minimal charge for your residence, which varies according to the size of the apartment. The Housing Office will notify you about the amount by providing a detailed receipt indicating charges for heating, electricity and maintenance. You are requested to make payments by the tenth of each month to the nearest Housing Office. There are offices located on both the Main and East Campus. For your convenience, you may want to sign a form arranging for the charges to be automatically deducted from your salary.
Location of the Housing Offices:
Main Campus Housing Office: Building 19 (ext: 1400, 1551)
East Campus Housing Office: Building C (ext: 5092, 5395)
Middle Campus Housing Office: Building 106 (ext: 8400)
Inventory: Upon arrival a list of all appliances, utensils and
furnishings is made and signed by both parties (the employee and the Housing Office
Management), stating that all items are present and in good condition.
Residence Certificate: Ask for a “Residence Certificate” from the Housing Office. This is an official document verifying your residency in the assigned apartment.
Pets: Pets are allowed in the faculty housing apartments, however, those who own a pet should present a health certificate to the Housing Office. Please make sure to have the certificate issued not more than 15 days before your departure. That certificate should indicate that the animal is in good health and vaccinated against rabies and stamped by the related Ministry in the home country. You will need a certificate for each pet you own.
For safety purposes and comfort of other residents, please do not let your pets outside of your residency unattended. Note that, at certain times throughout the year, fogging to control insect infestations may take place.
Visitors: For security reasons, overnight visitors should be reported to the Housing Office.
Extension of Stay: If you need to stay in your apartment after your contract with the University has expired, and your department approves of this extension, the Housing Office should be notified. The extension cannot exceed one week.
VACATING THE RESIDENCE:
Residents should vacate their assigned units within 7 to 15 days after their contract with the University has expired. Telephone, cable TV, and Digiturk should be disconnected before checking out of the apartment. As part of the checkout process, residents should complete and return an apartment inventory form, pay all bills, return library materials and remove all personal property.
Keys should be returned to the Housing Office along with all borrowed items. Residents are responsible for their personal property at all times. When the resident has not vacated the assigned apartment as scheduled, in the case of internal transfers as well as at the end of a contract period, the Housing Office will make a reasonable attempt to contact the resident. However, if the resident can not be reached within 2 days, all his/her property will be put in a storage area for a limited time.
