NOTE: Little standard language is offered in this paragraph, since the

occupants from disputes about claims of loss and damage. It reassures

likely not to understand the explanation in English, a bilingual escort should be
provided. The escort may use the time on behalf of the Housing Office to

Contractor personnel should be directed to never enter a unit unless there
