Londonist Aldgate Residence

A few weeks before arrival, you will be invited to book a move-in slot by your Accommodation Team. This can be booked via our student portal once we've let you know check-in slots are available. 

Absolutely! Floors, flats and room numbers are available to select during the online booking process. 

Of course! For locations with shared student apartments, group booking can be completed easily online. One member of the group just needs to register and when asked to Create a group booking, give the group a name and log in. Complete everyone's personal details and then pay the booking fee. When done, the rest of the group has 24 hours to register, select Join a group booking and pay their booking fee and that's it your perfect flat share is secured! 

To secure your room you only need to pay the booking fee the amount varies across locations so look at each building individually for details. This becomes your damage deposit in case of any little mishaps while living with us. The booking fee is non-refundable but the good thing is that you'll get it back if nothings owing for damage or outstanding rent at the end of your stay. Deposits are fully secured by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme in England and Wales or the My Deposits scheme in Scotland.  

Sorry, pets of any shape or size aren't allowed. 

Yes! You can. 

Whether we supply the TV or if you bring your own, or watch it through 4TV or the BBC iPlayer, you'll need to have a valid TV Licence unless we tell you were covering it. 

We're all grown-ups here, so of course, occasional overnight guests are allowed. Please don't invite someone to stay for more than three consecutive nights though, and always check with your flatmates first that they're ok with extra house guests. 

Smoking is not allowed in any private and communal areas including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and all internal social spaces. Designated smoking areas can be found outside of the building. 

Your apartment or studio will be fully inspected at least three times during your tenancy. Well keep an eye on cleanliness and hope not to see any damage and missing items. After each inspection, we will tell you if any charges will need to be made to put something right. You will be invoiced immediately for recharges for the first two inspections and on the final inspection, a deduction will be made from your deposit.  

Depending on which Property Management location is yours, post may be delivered directly through your door by Royal Mail or collected from on-site post boxes. Fresh accepts larger parcel deliveries at reception, but we accept no liability for loss or damage.  Do I need to move out over Christmas and Easter holidays?  No, your room is yours for the whole of your tenancy. You only need to move out at the end of the agreement. 

Your deposit is registered with a Government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme. As long as your room is clean and nothing is missing or damaged from your stay, we will aim to get your deposit back to you within 10 working days. 

All our student accommodation is centrally located, close to good public transport links and other facilities, so you should be able to get around easily without a car. A small number of sites have limited parking, available at an additional charge, on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Yes, so please don't bring any portable washing machines with you! There are on-site laundries at all of our student accommodation locations at an additional charge. 

Yes, of course! When you start an online booking, or when we invite you to book, you will create your accommodation agreement, which will include your preferred contact details. Only once you have reviewed the agreement will you be asked to complete it.

Yes. As our name says, students are our focus. All residents must be in full or part-time education.

Yes! Just give us a call, or while you're making your booking let us know the name of your friends and well do what we can to ensure you're all living together. We want to make sure all our residents share a space with like-minded people, so if you are booking as an individual with no special request to live with friends, wherever possible we will allocate a room which is surrounded by residents studying at the same university and in the same year as you.

We have a limited number of short-term contracts. Give us a call so we can discuss and advise accordingly.

We operate an EVERYONE IS WELCOME policy and our facilities cater to the needs of all. LIV Students sites are fully accessible and all areas of the site have disabled access and facilities. If you have any medical requirements or disabilities, please give us a call so we can place you in a room and arrange a living plan which suits your needs.

We think it is best for you to have a guarantor in place when you are paying rent in instalments, just in case unforeseen circumstances arise which make it difficult for you to keep up with payments. Guarantors need to be residents in the same country as the Londonist Aldgate Residence Student accommodation. We do, however, have a payment plan where a guarantor is not required, or you can choose to appoint Housing Hand as a guarantor during your booking. But its best to give us a call to get a full understanding of guarantors and payments. We've got a team ready to answer your questions. If you choose to pay your rent in full, then you do not need a guarantor.
