Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be a student to live in the property?
Do I need to take out contents insurance?
No, you do not. Contents insurance is automatically included with your rent.
Do I need to move out during the holidays?
Do they have staff at the properties?
Every property has a team of trained staff on site to respond to meet your needs. Their job is to make your property experience as enjoyable as possible.
The on-site management offices are open Monday to Friday. During these times they will answer any questions, respond to any issues and offer advice, as well as ensure a friendly face is there to greet you every day.
Many of their properties also have a highly skilled team of caretakers who are available around the clock. They’re there to resolve any maintenance issues quickly and efficiently – keeping the site safe and secure. Security guards also support the caretaker team on most sites to ensure there’s a 24/7 presence. Please check at your chosen location to confirm details.
While most students settle into living away from home quickly, they understand it can take a little longer for some than others. So, while the tenancy agreement limits how far they can get involved, their people are trained to offer advice that helps residents to overcome a range of issues.
For your peace of mind, all their people are criminal record background checked.
How safe are the properties?
What happens if I have a maintenance problem?
Are there specific rooms that are quieter, since City Road is a busy area?
Yes. While the building is modern and well-insulated, the "Standard" and "Standard Plus" studios often face onto City Road. If you are a light sleeper, you can request a room facing the internal outdoor courtyard, which is significantly quieter.
Does Livin offer "Dual Occupancy" for couples in their studios?
Yes, Livin Cardiff typically offers Free Dual Occupancy on most studio types (excluding the 2-bed shared apartments). This allows two students to share a room for the same price, though both must be full-time students.
What kind of equipment is available in the on-site "Fitness Suite"?
The Fitness Suite is a cardio-focused gym featuring treadmills, stationary bikes, and cross-trainers. It also includes a selection of free weights and yoga mats for strength and flexibility training.
How do I pay for and use the on-site laundry facilities?
The laundry room uses the Circuit Laundry app. You won't need coins; you simply top up your account via the app, scan the machine’s QR code, and start your wash or dry cycle.
Can I use the "Private Dining Suite" for events or birthdays?
Absolutely! The Private Dining Suite is designed for residents to host dinner parties or study groups. It features a large dining table and kitchen facilities. You can book this space for free through the on-site management team.
Is there both WiFi and wired (Ethernet) internet available in the rooms?
You get the best of both. All rooms come with super-fast 100Mb WiFi as standard, but there is also a wired Ethernet port at the desk for students who need a more stable connection for gaming or large file uploads.
Are the "Standard Studio" windows openable, or are they sealed for soundproofing?
For safety and soundproofing reasons (especially those facing the main road), some windows in the Standard and Standard Plus studios are fixed and cannot be opened. However, the building has a centralized ventilation system to ensure fresh air flow.
What kind of events are included in the property's "Social Calendar"?
