I have more luggage than I'm able to carry in one trip - what should I do?
Please try to pack consciously and only bring the things you really need with you on check-in day.
My flatmate didn't help to clean the kitchen. What do I do?
It's a good idea to plan for your check-out in advance of the end of your tenancy, so you can share the cleaning responsibilities. You and your flatmates are equally responsible for leaving the cupboards, fridge, and freezer empty and the kitchen clean.
If your flatmates have left without cleaning the kitchen, it is your choice whether you do the cleaning yourself. Any charges will apply to all flatmates – yourself included – so they recommend putting in the effort to organise this ahead of everyone leaving.
My flatmate has left food in the freezer. What do I do?
Speak with your flatmates in advance of check-out to make sure all cupboards and the fridge/freezer will be left empty. It’s important to work together so that the activity can be shared equally.
If any food or belongings are left in the kitchen, they’ll need to apply a charge for them to be removed, and the charge will be split equally between everyone in the flat, including yourself. If you are the last person to check-out of your flat, they recommend that you make the decision on any food left in the cupboards, fridge, or freezer – you may want to take it with you, donate it to the food bank, or dispose of it responsibly.
Do I need to clean my room and flat before I check-out?
Yes. You’re responsible for leaving your room clean and empty. You can recycle or donate unwanted items, and all rubbish must be disposed of responsibly. Any items left in your room will be removed, and they’ll need to apply a charge for this.
If you’re sharing a flat, it’s a good idea to find out when everyone is leaving so that the cleaning in your kitchen and hallway can be shared equally.
Please leave your kitchen, lounge, and hallway clean and empty – don’t forget to clean inside the fridge and freezer, and to empty your cupboards to avoid cleaning charges. If there are any items or food left in the kitchen or hallway, removal charges may apply.
All cleaning, damage, and removal charges will be split equally between all tenants.
An item in the flat was damaged by my flatmate. Will I get charged for it too?
They do charge for damages, however, if the person responsible for causing the damage is willing to take full responsibility, then they will only charge that person. If no one accepts the responsibility for damages in a communal area, then the charge will be split equally between everyone in the flat.
Is cleaning provided?
It’s your responsibility to clean both your room and the shared areas of your flat.
Do I have to move out during holiday periods like Christmas and Easter?
Your room is yours until the end of your contracted time listed in your Tenancy Agreement. That means, if your contract covers holiday periods like Christmas and Easter, you won't need to move out during these times.
There is loud music playing above me, how do I make a complaint?
First, speak to a member of staff at reception or, if it is out of office hours, contact their Emergency Control Centre.
What are your fire safety procedures?
They work with Avon Fire and Rescue Service to go above and beyond what the fire safety regulations demand from their homes, policies, and procedures. Their fire risk assessments are done by experienced assessors who are members of the Institution of Fire Engineers.On-site teams test their fire alarms every week, and show all new arrivals their evacuation routes and assembly points - so they know exactly what to do in an emergency.You'll find emergency signage located throughout each building, but if you’re ever unsure or worried, you can speak to staff who’ll be happy to explain where you’d need to go.
Why are my windows restricted?
Your window may have a restricting device that limits how far it opens. It's there for your safety, so it's important that you don't disconnect or damage it, or let anyone else do so. If the window fittings do become damaged, you need to tell a member of the property team straight away.
What’s your policy on smoking / vaping?
All of their buildings are non-smoking, so they don’t allow smoking or vaping inside your flat, room, or communal areas. They do have some designated outdoor spaces that they ask their residents who smoke or vape to use instead. There are cigarette bins located on-site, and they ask that residents use these where needed to help keep things tidy.
