LIV Student Belfast, Belfast

A guarantor is the best way to protect your place with us if things get tough, especially if you are struggling to pay your rent. If you are paying in instalments, then we do ask that you provide a guarantor or appoint a Housing Hand as your guarantor.

If you are paying your rent upfront in a single lump sum, a guarantor is not required.

We are no stranger to bad days or tough months – we’ve all been there, and we’ve all wished that the person at the other end of the phone was a little more understanding. Because of this, and in an effort to make our agreements as flexible as possible for our residents and students, if something occurs – like an emergency payment you have to make elsewhere, or your student loan doesn’t arrive on time – simply get in touch to discuss the situation with us directly. We can then amend your payment plan if required, to help you out.

Things happen; we get it. Your student loan may be delayed, or something else might interfere with your ability to pay your rent on time. But DONT PANIC!

Call in at reception and let us know what has happened so we can help you. This might include changing your payment to a later date. Just keep us in the loop so we can help you.

Absolutely – university is a time for making new friends (and besides, we know you’ll want to show off your new home!).

We do ask that those living in shared apartments or studios refrain from having more than one guest at any time, and that you keep overnight stays to a maximum of two nights per week.

Visitors also need to sign in at reception and sign out when they leave, to assist us in the event of a fire evacuation. In addition, please note that our visitor policy can be amended at any time.

Sorry, we don’t allow pets in our accommodation unless they are approved assistance or disability dogs.

We are carefully monitoring Government advice on social distancing and at this time we plan for our gyms to be open, but so you can exercise safely there will be a restriction on the number of people using it at any one time, and there will be less equipment than usual.

Please use the gym sanitising station regularly and follow instructions on staying safe. Opening hours may be reduced to allow extra cleaning and sanitising to be carried out.

We will be responding swiftly to any new restrictions in light of new data on outbreaks and risk. We ask for your understanding around any changes that lie ahead.

Our gyms typically contain all of your equipment that you would expect – including weight machines, cardiovascular machines, and free weights as well as mats for yoga and stretching. For a more detailed view of your chosen  accommodation, check out the accommodation photos.

As part of our commitment to climate change and to reducing the CO2 output levels of our sites and our residents, we encourage students to use the local public transport network and to keep their cars outside of the city centres. Not only will this help reduce your own carbon footprint, but it will save you money in the long run.

Yes, all of our accommodation sites include bike storage as part of your facilities package! We do ask that you bring your own bike lock for optimum security.

Our sites benefit from both 24/7 staff and CCTV – making sure that you feel as safe as possible during your tenancy.

If you have any issues, from broken doors to plumbing issues, lost keys, and issues with access, our maintenance team can be contacted via the app. This app also lets you track the status of any issue or request.
