They want you to love living at the management so please tell them the issue and the Property Manager will help, or if they can’t help, they will point you in the right direction.
Unfortunately, they don’t allow pets at the management but some of their properties have furry friends that like to hang out nearby. Birmingham for example has a sweet cat called Darcy who will be only too pleased to say hi.
Your friends are more than welcome to visit you at your accommodation – they ask that you limit any overnight stays to no more than 3 consecutive nights in one week and make sure that your flatmates are happy with having your friends stay over.
We like to keep things simple for you, start by choosing a room type and contract length and then follow the on-screen instructions (it takes about 5 mins to complete a booking). You will need a form of photo ID (passport or a driving licence), along with proof of your student status (student ID or an offer/acceptance letter from your university), your student number and a credit/debit card to pay your advance rent. If you're looking to pay in instalments, you will need to appoint a UK based guarantor, this can be a family member or a friend who is happy to act as your guarantor in the event that rent payments are missed. If you do not have someone that you could nominate as a UK guarantor, you could use the services of Housing Hand who are able to help act as a guarantor.

Pack anything that will make your new home feel just like your old home. They include a mattress but you’ll need to bring your favourite bedding as well as pillows and a duvet.
