Can I book if I'm under 18?
Management does not accept parental responsibility for occupiers under the age of 18.
They require that all tenants living at one of their properties in England and Wales to be over the age of 17 during the academic year booked to live at management, and tenants living in their Scottish properties to be age 16 or over.

Can I bring a tv?
