[Tang-Residents] Apartment Insurance

[Michael J Collins]

Hello all,

For the protection of all, I ask that you take a moment and read the email below.
Sometimes this important piece of information is overlooked when you first move in.


Here's the statement in the License agreement:

* Personal Property: MIT is not responsible for the personal property of Licensees, their family members, or their guests. This includes items delivered to MIT on Licensee's behalf, property in trunk rooms and other storage areas, and property in individual MIT graduate student housing units. It is strongly recommended that all Licensees procure personal property insurance to protect their property from loss or damage due to theft, fire, flood, water leakage, vandalism, and any other hazards. It is also recommended that Licensees keep all housing unit windows and doors locked at all times. It is Licensee's responsibility to secure personal property during vacation periods and any belongings left behind during such periods are and remain the sole responsibility of Licensee. The Housing Office reserves the right to remove unidentified or unclaimed items from storage areas during and after occupancy.


And here's what goes in the Confirmation letter:

INSURANCE:

The Graduate Housing Office/MIT is not responsible for damages to persons or property or loss of property.  All property in the apartment or elsewhere is at the sole risk of the resident.  If you wish to protect yourself from the possibility of such losses, you must contract privately to obtain appropriate insurance coverage.

This includes packages sent to Tang.  Do NOT ship anything to arrive ahead of you.  We do not have anywhere to store packages and do not take responsibility for them.


Thank you
