COVID 19 Cancellation Policy
Flexible start dates. Arrive late, up until 90 days
- Reserve your room care-free. they have got you covered.
If you are unable to start your Nido stay due to Covid-19 travel restrictions in the UK or your home country, you will not be charged for your unused room.
The free late arrival period (max. 90 days) will begin on your contract start date and will continue up until the date the relevant lockdown restrictions has been lifted or your University opens the course on campus. - Students affected by Covid-19 restrictions will be able to take advantage of this policy, if you are either:
- not allowed to leave your home country due to your home country government travel restrictions;
- unable to enter the UK due to UK travel restrictions;
- have a postponed Semester 1-course start date;
- or your University switched to 100% e-learning for Semester 1.
Arriving after 90 days? Were here for you.
- If you are unable to start your Nido stay any later than 90 days following your contract start date, you will not be charged for the first 90 days of your licence agreement. However, the original terms of your licence agreement will resume on the 91st day which means you will need to pay for your stay from that day onwards.
- We understand this crisis has impacted many of you financially and we remain committed to supporting our students as much as we can during this time. Therefore, if you are affected by the 90+ days policy, you do have the option to find a replacement to take over your licence agreement. For any students facing financial hardship, we are here to listen and we will do everything we can to try and help. Please contact your property team, they will carefully review each situation on a case by case basis.
No place or visa? Dont Pay!
- Has your course changed to online learning for semester 1, 2, 3 or maybe even all 3?
- Has your course been cancelled?
- Have you not been able to get a visa?
- Or perhaps didnt get into Uni?
Not to worry, you will not be liable for any charges against your licence fees.
To be eligible for this policy you need to inform them in writing by the 17th August 2020 latest.
We match your new course date to your contract start date
If your course is postponed from its official 20/21 start date, they will happily align the start date of your licence agreement with the new start date of your Uni course. All they need is written confirmation from yourself and an official notice from the University. Please note that this date is non-negotiable.
Normal Cancellation Policy
You get 14-days cool off period (Free cancellation period) from the time you book your room to cancel your booking. If you cancel within the 14-days period, you will get a full refund of your deposit.
If you are outside the 14-days cool off period, you may cancel, but are required to find a replacement tenant. Until a suitable replacement is found, you may not be released from the tenancy agreement and are liable to pay the rent.
If you are making a late application and your Check-in Date occurs before the 14-day period expires, your rights end on your check-in date.
The Landlord may cancel, if you do not provide the required documents before the check-in, or pay the rent. Deposit will not be refunded and you will still be liable to pay any rent due.

WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF CORONAVIRUS SPREADING IN THE RESIDENCE?
The UK Government is expecting and planning for the significant spread of the virus in the population, and that means it is likely there will be cases.
When we have a case or cases at one of our properties, we will act quickly and decisively to ensure those affected receive the appropriate support, guidance, and treatment and are able to self-isolate. We will also ensure all residents are given the appropriate information and advice to manage the risks. If we or Public Health England believe you have been in contact with a known case, you will be informed, and offered the appropriate support.
HOW IS NIDO STUDENT RESPONDING TO COVID-19?

The best way to keep hands clean is by using soap and water, which we have available for you to use. We would encourage you to wash your hands frequently
Cleaning of all common areas is taking place daily, including weekends, at an increased frequency, with a focus on entry and exit buttons, lift buttons, door handles and high football areas

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY BELONGINGS AT NIDO?
We understand many of you have already travelled home and are now worried about the belongings youve left behind. We wanted to give you an update on the additional coverage and new benefits we have added to your contents insurance together with our partners Endsleigh Insurance to give you peace of mind about your belongings.
We know many of you had to leave your rooms quickly & suddenly and may not have taken all your possessions with you. Endsleigh have therefore waived the un-occupancy exclusion clause of 60 days and want to reassure you that student possessions will be covered under your policy for an unlimited period of time during the policy period.
Further to that, if you move-out early or cancel your tenancy with us, and cannot yet arrange for collection of your things, Nido will arrange to store your belongings. Cover for your belongings will still apply in storage. Thisincludes all valuables up to the limits and perils on your policy certificate. Although it is advised at the current time (March 2020) to stay put, if you can safely travel home in the coming weeks & months students will be covered by an additional benefit on their policy, namely in transit against theft for up to 500 per bag of possessions. This protection is in place anytime a student has to do this during the policy period. Cover only applies within the UK.
CAN I STILL USE THE LAUNDRY ROOM?
The Laundry room is still available for use, however, to protect your health and safety and ensure we adhere to the latest government social distancing measures, we advise the following:
Use Laundry View to book machines and check the status of your washing/ drying before going to the Laundry room
Only go to the Laundry room if you can see there are machines available and/ or your laundry is done
Only 2 people should be in the Laundry room at any one time, and where possible they should maintain a suitable distance from each other
CAN I STILL RECEIVE PARCELS?

Please ensure you are available to receive parcels directly from delivery drivers. Following government guidance, we also advise you to do online food shopping, to ensure you can stay at home and keep safe.
WILL EVENTS GO AHEAD AS PLANNED?
As a precaution, and in accordance with the government guidance we have cancelled our planned events for the time being. You will be notified when they recommence. However, we have developed a Virtual Events calendar which can be found on our Facebook Page we hope to see you there!
AM I ALLOWED VISITORS?
In accordance with government guidance, we advise against having visitors to the residence.

WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO STAY CONNECTED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS DURING THIS TIME?
We encourage you to draw on support you might have through your friends, family and other networks during this time. Try to stay in touch with those around you over the phone or online. Let people know how you would like to stay in touch and build that into your routine. This is also important in looking after your mental wellbeing and you may find it helpful to talk to them about how you are feeling. Remember it is OK to share your concerns with others you trust and in doing so you may end up providing support to them too.

On the 26th March, the UK government advised that students remaining at university should now not attempt to travel home while current travel restrictions are in place. We ask that you continue to follow all government advice, the latest of which can be found here: gov.uk/coronavirus
I AM PLANNING TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Please consult and observe the latest advice from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) on travelling outside the UK. The current advice is to avoid non-essential travel. Countries around the globe are imposing heightened health screenings on entry or exit at their borders and many have taken the decision to suspend travel/ entry to foreign nationals.
Several airlines are taking the decision to suspend flight operations to some destinations experiencing severe outbreaks of the COVID-19 virus and due to the decrease in demand for services are beginning to reduce flight schedules and cancel flights.
We strongly advise travellers to confirm their flight status in advance of travel, to allow additional time for immigration and health screenings at airports and check the latest Foreign and Commonwealth Office entry requirements and updates for your destination.
IS NIDO STILL CONSIDERING NEW BOOKINGS FOR SEPTEMBER 2020?
