Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent a property as a non-student?

You don’t have to be a student to live on a property, but you would be liable for council tax. You can find out the cost through the council. It will then be the landlord's discretion for you to live in that property.

Can I end my contract early?

You are committed under your tenancy agreement to pay the full contracted rent unless you can find someone to take over the remainder of your contract and at least 6 months are remaining on your tenancy agreement.

Can I move in earlier than my contract start date?

You will not be able to move in before the start date of your tenancy.

Is wifi provided and how fast is it?

WiFi is provided in all of their accommodation and is accessible in each room of the property. Your WiFi access is included in your monthly rent. Due to the nature of WiFi, speeds may vary depending on proximity to the router, the nature of the usage, and the number of devices connected at any one time. If you would like to know specifics about WiFi provision at one of their properties please ask your point of contact in the Lettings Team.

What is a guarantor?

This is someone willing to guarantee your rent payments on your behalf. This is standard practice with student rental properties due to your employment status. A guarantor is signing the tenancy agreement confirming that they are guaranteeing your obligations in the contract.

Why must my guarantor be UK-based?

Property laws are different outside of the UK. This means that your guarantor can't be based elsewhere.

What can I do if I don’t have a guarantor?

If you do not have a UK-based guarantor, you can either use Housing Hand which will act as a guarantor on your behalf or you can pay all of your rent in one annual upfront payment.

Are there any fees and deposits?

No, there are no fees and no deposits to pay. The £200 holding retainer paid to reserve your property will be deducted from your first month’s rent. For a limited time only, the holding retainer for properties in Stoke and Keele has been reduced to £10.

How do I pay my rent?

They request that all tenants pay rent via Direct Debit. However, payment can be made over the phone, via their website, bank transfer or standing order. Please note there may be a 72-hour delay from making the payment to the payment showing on your tenant portal. They accept Mastercard and Visa.

What happens if I do not want to live on my property after I signed the contract?

To exit your contract you will need to find a replacement tenant to take your room, but only if more than 6 months are remaining on your contract. The rest of your group will need to agree to this person. Once this is done they can reissue a new contract for everyone to sign. Until the new contract is signed by all parties all Tenants, all Guarantors, and the Landlord you are legally contracted and obliged to pay your rent.

I want to view a property, what do I do?

Enquire the property website and book a viewing using their online booking platform. All people viewing a property must wear a mask and sanitize their hands before entering the property and on departure. All attendants must adhere to social distancing and avoid physical contact with surfaces, furnishings, and personal belongings in the property.

How do I know if my group has the house?

Your group will only have the house once all the tenancy details forms have been completed, a contract has been sent out, all tenants and guarantors have signed, all remaining retainers have been paid and all identification for tenants and guarantors received. Then the landlord will contract the property and you will be notified of this by email.

But what about administration fees?

They have no admin fees They’re unnecessary, dated, and stop you from getting the most for your money. 

How do I sign the tenancy agreement?

You will be sent your tenancy agreement via email. There are clear instructions when you open the document, please ensure you sign your first and last name no initials.

What does joint and several liability mean?

Joint and several liability means that both individually and jointly all of the tenants are individually and jointly responsible for paying rent and for all other tenants’ responsibilities during the tenancy. 

Where do I send my tenancy document to?

After signing your agreement online it will automatically send them a copy so there is nothing you need to do apart from sign.

When do I need to return everything?

Your holding retainer reserves the house for 3 working days. In this time you will need to fill in your tenancy form and upload your documents. You will then be sent the tenancy agreement.

I have viewed a property and want to live there, what do I do?

You call the office to pay one £200 holding Retainer. This reserves the property for you and gets the ball rolling. The holding retainer is non-refundable but is deducted from the first month’s rent of the person who paid it. Each of the other members of the house will also need to pay a £200 holding retainer within 2 days after the tenancy agreement is signed.

How do I prevent pests, rats, and insects on my property?

Here are some quick points that can prevent pests: 

Try and make a habit of cleaning up immediately after meals. Wash all dishes, wipe down tables or counters, and store leftovers in airtight containers. Cleaning up quickly prevents pests from making their way onto dirty dishes or uncovered foods.  

· When possible, buy food that comes in cans or jars. Pests like insects and rodents can easily chew through plastic, paper, and cardboard. Keep more food in the refrigerator or freezer. Few insects and rodents can make their way into these appliances some food lasts longer when cool. 

ALWAYS CLEAN! The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often than other areas of the home. Even the tiniest of crumbs can attract pests. Be mindful of brushing away crumbs and sanitizing tables and countertops after any type of food prep. Sweep away anything that hits the floor. Take out the rubbish as soon as it’s needed. Allowing rubbish to sit in the kitchen only invites pests over for dinner. Keep your cabinets clean. It is important to inspect your cabinets regularly for exposed food, crumbs, or signs of a pest invasion.

My tumble dryer is broken, what should I do?

Tumble dryers need to be emptied of fluff regularly, not emptying this will cause the unit to overheat and not work correctly. Here is a general video on how to unblock the filters.

There is mould in my house what do I do?

Condensation mold forms when there is too much moisture in the air and it hits a cold surface. If the mold reoccurs after you have removed it and you are not drying clothes inside.

The extractor fan is not working in my bathroom?

There will be an isolation switch outside the bathroom – please ensure this is turned on before reporting as maintenance.

Their shower is flooding / not draining when they use it what should they do?

If your shower is blocked do not continue to shower with it running over the top, as this will cause a leak and damage to the house. You need to unblock showers regularly and ensure the plug is free from hair.

My washing machine door won’t open and my clothes are stuck inside – what should I do?

This often happens when the door is attempted to be opened before the door has unlocked after the cycle. Always wait 5 minutes before trying to open the door. If this is the case and it has been forced open this may be something that will require repairs that they may not cover the cost of. Sometimes, the washing machine will have a drain function, so please use this if possible before opening the door using a piece of string. Refer to this video for a tutorial on this temporary fix/ to get your trapped closed.

Our rubbish isn’t being collected – why is this?

Please ensure that you are disposing of your household waste correctly and putting it out on the correct day preferably the night before as this ensures collection, a lot of students aren’t up at 9 am. You can search online when collection days are/what you can and can’t put in each bin. This is important as the council reserves the right to refuse collection if the rubbish is disposed of incorrectly If you think you need more council bins, please let them know and they can put in a request. You can find information on bin collections on your council website. 

What is the best way to report maintenance?

For general maintenance, reporting it through the Portal will mean that the issue is resolved as quickly as possible for you.

What is the fair usage policy and what does it mean?

I’ve paid a retainer; does this amount get deducted from my first rental payment?

What happens if I stop being a full-time student?

What happens if I can’t make my payment on time?

Please give them a call and they will work with you to find the best way in which to pay your rent. Alternatively, you can email. All rent is due in advance.

They have received multiple emails about when a contractor is attending to a maintenance issue: which one is correct?
