Universal Student Living reserves the right to cancel a reservation and retain the Advance Rental Payment if:
You have lived at Universal Student Living Limited accommodation before and breached the terms and conditions of the AST (i.e. failure to pay rent on time or anti-social behaviour).
You failed to complete your application or accept the AST within the timeframe outlined by the site accommodation team.
Universal Student Living reserves the right to cancel a reservation and return the Advance Rental Payment if:
You have not yet completed a tenancy agreement and they become unable to provide the accommodation of choice.
An AST is a legally binding agreement. Once signed, you are legally obliged to meet the terms and conditions therein for the duration of the agreement. You cannot cancel your tenancy once it has been signed regardless of occupation. For the avoidance of doubt, if you sign the AST but do not move into the property or decide to vacate early, you are still bound by the terms and responsible for rent for the full duration of the tenancy. An early release may be considered if;
You find a suitable replacement tenant for the remaining period of the original tenancy. You will not be released from your AST until the ingoing tenant has accepted a new AST as per the same terms as the original. For the avoidance of doubt, you remain responsible for all rents until the new AST is in effect and will be released from the obligations thereafter.
You enter a new tenancy agreement with Universal Student Living Limited for a different room but for the same tenancy period.
Payment Details
Booking Info:-
Your advance rental payment of GBP 250 is due when you book your room. This is not a deposit.
Your advance rental payment secures your room once you sign the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and your Guarantor signs the Guarantee (if required).
At the start of your tenancy your GBP 250 converts to an advanced rent payment, and is either deducted from your single rent payment (if you pay for the year in advance) or from your first terms rental payment (if you pay in stages).
So, for example if the total rent stated in your contract is GBP 4,500, and you are paying in advance, you will pay GBP 250 before signing your contract, and the remainder, GBP 4,250 before moving in.
If you are paying by three instalments with a UK Guarantor, then you will pay the GBP 250 advance rental payment on signing, 40% of the contract rent before you move in less the advance rental payment (1,800 250 = 1,550), GBP 1,800 at the start of the second term, then GBP 900 for the third term.
Payment Info:-
You will need to pay the GBP 250 advance rental payment to secure your room.
You will then have two options you can pay by three instalments or in one lump sum.
Paying in three instalments:
Students will need to provide evidence of a UK based guarantor if they wish to pay by instalments. Students will also need to sign a Direct Debit Mandate form to pay by instalments.
The first installment of rent is due in our bank account 10 days before the start of your tenancy. they will notify you in good time of the bank account details, or you can pay through our on-line portal with a debit card or credit card (credit cards attract a processing charge).
The start of your tenancy is the first date shown on your Assured Shorthold Tenancy, NOT the date you move into your room.
If you are receiving a Student Loan, and using this to pay your rent, you will NOT receive this loan until you have arrived at University and registered with your course. The University will then notify the Student Loans Company that you have registered, and the Student Loans Company then pay you the first terms loan, which may arrive one to two weeks after you need to move in.
It may therefore be difficult for you to pay your first rent instalment in full without your loan. If that is the case, you should speak to your guarantor to ask for assistance in the interim. If you require further assistance please contact your site team for more information.
Paying in one lump sum:
If students are unable to provide a UK based guarantor, payment will need to be paid in full at least 10 days prior to tenancy start dates.
