Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent a property as a non-student?
You don’t have to be a student to live on a property, but you would be liable for council tax. You can find out the cost through the council. It will then be the landlord's discretion for you to live in that property.
Is wifi provided and how fast is it?
WiFi is provided in all of their accommodation and is accessible in each room of the property. Your WiFi access is included in your monthly rent. Due to the nature of WiFi, speeds may vary depending on proximity to the router, the nature of the usage, and the number of devices connected at any one time. If you would like to know specifics about WiFi provision at one of their properties please ask your point of contact in the Lettings Team.
What is a guarantor?
This is someone willing to guarantee your rent payments on your behalf. This is standard practice with student rental properties due to your employment status. A guarantor is signing the tenancy agreement confirming that they are guaranteeing your obligations in the contract.
Are there any fees and deposits?
No, there are no fees and no deposits to pay. The £200 holding retainer paid to reserve your property will be deducted from your first month’s rent.
For a limited time only, the holding retainer for properties in Stoke and Keele has been reduced to £10.
How do I pay my rent?
They request that all tenants pay rent via Direct Debit. However, payment can be made over the phone, via their website, bank transfer or standing order. Please note there may be a 72-hour delay from making the payment to the payment showing on your tenant portal. They accept Mastercard and Visa.
What happens if I do not want to live on my property after I signed the contract?
To exit your contract you will need to find a replacement tenant to take your room, but only if more than 6 months is remaining on your contract. The rest of your group will need to agree to this person. Once this is done they can reissue a new contract for everyone to sign. Until the new contract is signed by all parties all Tenants, all Guarantors, and the Landlord you are legally contracted and obliged to pay your rent.
I want to view a property, what do I do?
Enquire the property website and book a viewing using their online booking platform.
All people viewing a property must wear a mask and sanitize their hands before entering the property and on departure. All attendants must adhere to social distancing and avoid physical contact with surfaces, furnishings, and personal belongings in the property.
How do I know if my group has the house?
Your group will only have the house once all the tenancy details forms have been completed, a contract has been sent out, all tenants and guarantors have signed, all remaining retainers have been paid and all identification for tenants and guarantors received. Then the landlord will contract the property and you will be notified of this by email.
Why must my guarantor be UK-based?
Property laws are different outside of the UK. This means that your guarantor can't be based elsewhere.
