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.
Exceptions to this rule are available in selected cases through prior arrangement. If in doubt, please contact your preferred management site and the team will be able to advise you.
Can I bring a tv?
If you want to bring a TV, check that your room has a TV point and don’t bring one larger than 21”. You can’t mount your TV on the wall, so make sure it’s free-standing. While all TVs provided by management in communal areas accessed by all residents are covered by a TV Licence, you will need to buy your own licence if you bring your own TV or if there is one already in your room or shared kitchen & living area.
