Residential rules
Everything you need to know to make the most of your Campus experience.
Please read carefully the rules that ensure respect, safety and well-being for all guests.
General Provisions and Admission
Art. 1 – Mission and Regulatory Framework
PadovaCampus Residential Campus is a housing facility for university students, established and managed in accordance with the directives of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and within the framework of PNRR initiatives aimed at increasing the availability of accommodation for university students, implementing Reform 1.7 “Student housing and reform of student housing legislation” under Mission 4, Component 1 of the PNRR. The entire management is carried out in compliance with current regulations on tenancy, safety and housing services.
Art. 2 – Beneficiaries and Priorities
Beds are reserved for students enrolled in universities or higher education institutions. Applicants who own, or hold another real right of enjoyment over, a residential property in the Municipality of Padua are not eligible. In line with PNRR objectives, the ranking gives priority to candidates who, in their application, choose a stay of 12 months or more, in order to ensure annual academic continuity and avoid partial room occupancy.
Art. 3 – Access, Check-in and Inventory
Access to the Campus is permitted to authorised Guests only. Check-in and inventory (condition of rooms and furnishings) must be completed and signed by the Guest within 3 days of arrival.
Art. 4 – Absences and Check-out
Absences of more than 15 days must be communicated to Management in advance. Check-out must be booked at least 7 days in advance, completed by 10:00 AM, and includes a final room reset charged according to the official price list.
Art. 5 – Rates and Payment Methods
Rates are monthly, indivisible and non-fractional. All payments must be made by bank transfer by the stated deadlines. Late payment triggers the penalty system; failure to pay two monthly instalments (even non-consecutive) constitutes grounds for contract termination.
Art. 6 – Guarantor Commitment and Responsibility
The Guest must pay a security deposit equal to one monthly fee, plus the first monthly instalment, within the established deadlines to confirm the bed assignment. Room allocation is subject to co-signing of the contract by a Guarantor (parent or relative), who accompanies the student throughout their stay and assumes joint liability for all contractual obligations and correct payment.
Art. 7 – Official Residence and Domicile
Transferring official residence (residenza anagrafica) to the Campus is prohibited; only the election of domicile for the duration of the stay is permitted.
Hygiene, Common Areas and Cohabitation
Art. 8 – Maintenance and Cleaning of Living Units
The room is yours for the entire stay: keep it clean and tidy. In practice: floor clear, bed made, no dishes or waste left lying around. In the toilet, flush only toilet paper: other waste (sanitary products, wipes, cotton buds and similar items) is incompatible with the drainage and sewage system — dispose of it in the appropriate general waste containers. If during an inspection Management finds the room in a state of disrepair, you have 24 hours to resolve it; if the problem persists, an out-of-office deep clean will be carried out at your expense (€50.00/intervention), as provided under Art. 18.
Art. 9 – Use of Kitchen and Appliances
The kitchen is a shared space, equipped with electric ovens, kettles and microwaves (for fire safety reasons, no hobs or gas cookers are present). Always clean surfaces, the sink and appliances immediately after use. Use only containers and utensils suitable for ovens and microwaves: any damage caused by unsuitable equipment is your responsibility. Do not leave food or organic residue outside the designated containers. If you notice insects or other pests in the kitchen or elsewhere in the facility, report it immediately by email to the Guest Representative or Management. Failure to clean appliances or the shared kitchen after use is considered an infringement under Art. 18 (Penalty System).
Art. 10 – Waste Management and Recycling
Waste sorting is mandatory in accordance with the Municipality of Padua regulations: waste must be disposed of in the containers in the recycling area on the ground floor. Never pour used cooking oil down the drain: it damages the pipes — use the dedicated collection points in the city. Incorrect waste disposal is considered an infringement under Art. 18 (Penalty System).
Art. 11 – Cleaning of Common Areas and Management Services
Management provides periodic cleaning and professional sanitisation of common areas (corridors, hall, study rooms). This service does not exempt the Guest from the obligation to maintain decorum and to immediately remove personal belongings and waste produced during use of shared areas.
Art. 12 – Laundry Service
The residence has an internal laundry room with shared washing machines and dryers, available during the hours posted in the room. Payment is made via a dedicated app, tokens or subscription, depending on the method active at the facility — instructions are posted in the laundry room and communicated at check-in. Detergent is not included: without your own detergent you will not be able to start a wash cycle. To report a malfunction, write by email to the Guest Representative or Management. Use of the laundry outside the posted hours is prohibited.
Art. 13 – Guest Representative
Management appoints a Guest Representative from among the Guests, as the first point of contact for practical reports and as a liaison with Management. The Representative collects reports from other Guests and forwards them to Management by email, the main channel for all communications. Guests remain free to write directly to Management at any time. Events and meetings organised by Guests must be authorised by Management, must end by midnight, and may not have any political or religious character.
Art. 14 – Visitors and Overnight Guests
External visitors may access common areas only between 08:00 and 22:00, upon registration with a valid ID. Any form of overnight hospitality not expressly authorised by Management is prohibited.
Sustainability, Safety and Sanctions
Art. 15 – Eco-sustainable Structure and DNSH Principle
The Campus is a state-of-the-art DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) facility — the principle established by the PNRR whereby interventions must not cause significant harm to the environment. This is a commitment that concerns all of us, every day, and a rule of civil cohabitation among Guests who share the same resources: we are an autonomous community that manages its own common spaces, and precisely for this reason every individual behaviour has a direct effect on everyone else. A shower that runs too long, or heating/air conditioning left on with doors or windows open, is not only a waste for the planet — it may mean less hot water, or more discomfort, for whoever uses it after you. For this reason, any waste of water or electricity is strictly prohibited: every Guest is required to make responsible use of shared resources, for the benefit of the environment and of the entire Campus community.
Art. 16 – General Prohibitions
The following are strictly prohibited:
– Smoking inside the buildings
– Bringing animals onto the premises
– Using electrical appliances without CE marking
– Bringing personal padded textile items (duvets, pillows, stuffed cushions) not provided by the facility (this prohibition is mandatory for fire safety and prevention reasons)
– Moving or removing furniture
– Drilling holes or applying stickers to walls or furniture
– Blocking fire escape routes
– Possessing or using narcotic substances
– Placing objects on window sills
Art. 17 – Manager’s Liability and Powers
The Guest is liable for any damage caused to furnishings and structures. Management may access rooms for inspections, maintenance or emergencies, with at least 24 hours’ notice except in cases of urgency, ongoing damage or the need for immediate intervention. Management is not liable for theft or damage to Guests’ personal belongings, nor for temporary service interruptions due to force majeure.
Art. 18 – Penalty System
Violations of these Rules are handled with a progressive system of measures, proportionate to the severity and recurrence of the behaviour:
a) Written warning: for a first minor infringement, Management issues a formal written warning with no financial penalty.
b) Financial penalty: from the second minor infringement, or for serious infringements, a financial penalty applies (minor: €50.00; serious: €100.00), according to the table below.
c) Temporary suspension: upon the recurrence of multiple minor or serious infringements in the same academic year, Management may order a temporary removal from the facility for a period commensurate with the severity of the conduct.
d) Revocation of accommodation: for very serious infringements, or in the event of repeated conduct despite previous measures, Management will proceed with immediate revocation of accommodation and expulsion from the facility.
The Guest may submit written counter-arguments to Management within 5 days of notification of the measure; Management will assess them before confirming the final decision.
Art. 19 – Safety and Quiet Hours
Compliance with the emergency plan and fire safety regulations is mandatory. Quiet hours must be strictly observed from 13:00 to 15:00 and from 22:00 to 08:00.
