At the end of your tenancy they ask you to leave the property clean and tidy. They'll also ask you to provide us with proof that you've paid all of your utilities (gas, electricity, water) and that you've dealt with the council tax at the property. (So make sure you hold on to all your bills!)Your tenancy agreement explains in detail why you may have charges deducted from your deposits. However, the main reasons tenants are charged are:
Not paying rent on time - you will accrue interest charges on any outstanding amounts.
Using Blu-Tack or similar on walls - if they have to re-paint a wall, the charge is normally £40 per wall.
Not cleaning the property well enough at the end of the tenancy.
There's advice on simple things you can do to ensure you can keep as much of your deposit as possible
They can help you to keep as much of your deposit as possible if you arrange a pre-inspection with their team. This will help you spot where charges might be deducted, so you can put them right before the end of your tenancy. Deposits are normally returned within 28 days of the end of your tenancy, provided all rent is paid and you've provided us with proof that your utilities and council tax have been dealt with.
The majority of their properties are available with bills already included in the rent. This means that you pay one sum and it'll cover your rent and utilities. That makes it easy to manage your money and know that everyone's paying their fare share. If you need to set up bills for yourself, you will find a whole section covering this.
For a lot of their properties you'll be asked to collect your keys from their office after midday on the 1st day of your tenancy. You can pick your keys up at any point after that date during their office hours. Remember, everyone in your house will need to have completed all of their paperwork first, paid their rent and you'll need to bring your ID with you so they know we're giving the right keys to the right people!
For some properties your landlord will provide keys directly to you. We'll email you a month before your move in date to confirm where you should collect your keys.
If they manage your property you will need to let us know about any maintenance issues, they have a team of trusted tradesmen and contractors who will resolve any issues you may have. There's a dedicated maintenance section on the website, where you can report a maintenance issue and find out more information.
Your landlord is responsible for making sure the gas appliances at your property are safe and is required to have them inspected by a ‘Gas Safe’ engineer every 12 months. They will make a copy available to you when you move in and again when it is renewed.
An EPC shows how energy efficient a house is and can help you work out how much your utilities will cost. They put them on their website for you to look at but if you can’t find one let us know.
As with living on campus, you'll need to bring the essentials with you. While your off campus student accommodation will be fully furnished, you'll need to bring things like bedding, kitchen equipment and towels. It's unlikely that the property will include crockery and cutlery, so make sure you have something to eat with, too!
Some accommodation will be supplied with a kettle and microwave. Many have hoovers. If you're not sure, ask someone form Property to confirm what will be included.
