What Should I Do If I Lost My Keys?

Report the lost keys to your RA or RD as soon as possible to put in a work order for new keys.  Depending on which key is lost, new keys may need to be cut for the entire suite/apartment because locks may need to be changed. There is a lost key fine that will be added directly to your e-bill, with the amount determined by how many keys need to be replaced.
