When can I move in?
You can move in on or after the Tenancy Start Date as specified in your tenancy agreement. They will write to you near to the time with more information about collecting your keys and their Reception opening hours.

When do I have to move out?
You have to vacate your accommodation by 11am on the Tenancy End Date as specified in your agreement. Anything left in your room after this time will be removed and disposed of.
What if I want to terminate my agreement and move out?
If you wish to terminate your tenancy, they must be notified in writing and you must complete their Re Let Form. You will remain responsible for the rent until a new tenant is found or until the end of the tenancy (whichever is sooner). They will aim to find a new tenant who is both acceptable to them and who is prepared to meet the financial and legal requirements of the tenancy agreement at the current prevailing rent. They cant always guarantee finding another tenant, as obviously this becomes more difficult as the academic year progresses, however, you are able to suggest a replacement to them. Please note that you will also need to cover all administration charges incurred in reassigning the tenancy.
How can I get my deposit back?
You will need to make sure that they have evidence that you have been exempt from paying Council Tax during your stay with them. You can get a Council Tax exemption certificate from your university to prove this.
Once they have this, and they have inspected your room and found no damage they will release your deposit to the Deposit Protection Service or in Scotland the Lettings Protection Service. You can then claim your deposit back from this service (this is a legal requirement in the UK)
How do I return my keys?
You can return your keys to reception in person or you can post them through receptions post box in a key return envelope which you can collect from reception. Please make sure the keys are labelled with your name, room and flat number. If the keys are not returned you will be charged for a replacement key and fob.
You may return your keys before the end of the tenancy, this will not constitute the termination of the agreement and tenants will waive their right to return to the property, to access the accommodation or request keys at any time prior to the end of the tenancy.
Can I store belongings at the property if I am returning next year?
You will need to discuss this with the reception team as it will depend on when your current tenancy ends and the new one begins, and whether someone else will be staying in your room over the summer.
They normally advise students to contact a storage company in the area if they cannot keep their belongings in their room.
Can I have visitors?
Unless otherwise stated, bedrooms are for single occupation only. Occasional overnight visitors will be allowed, at the discretion of the management, provided that no disturbance or inconvenience is caused to other occupants. You will be held fully responsible for the actions and behaviour of your visitors.
