Any staff member, student or preclear living in rented quarters is to be held responsible for leaving the quarters in as good condition as he found them. This of course doesn't include normal wear and tear.

If a claim is presented by a landlord, and the Scientologist feels it is unjust it is a matter for the Inspection Officer to inspect and decide.

If the Scientologist is found to be at fault, the non-payment of such damages will become an Ethics matter. The intention is that justice be given both the Scientologist and the property owner. Therefore damages may be awarded a property owner, but should be in proportion to the actual damages done.

There are many Scientologists living in East Grinstead and with the course expanding, there will be a lot more in the future. Housing is limited already. There is no need to further this condition by creating bad will with the local property owners. This Policy is in keeping with our Scientology justice codes.
