How do i prevent pests (rats and insects) in my Crib?

Here are some quick points that can prevent pests: · Try and make a habit of cleaning up immediately after meals. Wash all dishes, wipe down tables or counters, and store leftovers in airtight containers. Cleaning up quickly prevents pests from making their way onto dirty dishes or uncovered foods. · When possible, buy food that comes in cans or jars. Pests like insects and rodents can easily chew through plastic, paper and cardboard. · Keep more food in the refrigerator or freezer. Few insects and rodents can make their way into these appliances (some food lasts longer when cool). · ALWAYS CLEAN! The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often than other areas of the home. Even the tiniest of crumbs can attract pests. Be mindful of brushing away crumbs and sanitising tables and countertops after any type of food prep. Sweep away anything that hits the floor. · Take out the rubbish as soon as it’s needed. Allowing rubbish to sit in the kitchen only invites pests over for dinner.· Keep your cabinets clean! It is important to inspect your cabinets regularly for exposed food, crumbs or signs of a pest invasion.

My Dishwasher isn’t working, what should i do?

Dishwashers need salt and rinse aid regularly- the filter also needs to be kept clean and clear of debris as this will cause blockages.My tumble dryer is broken, what should i do?.Tumble dryers need to be emptied of fluff on a regular basis, not emptying this will cause the unit to overheat and not work correctly.

There is mould in my house what do I do?

Condensation mould forms when there is too much moisture in the air and it hits a cold surface. If the mould reoccurs after you have removed it and you are not drying clothes inside please report as an issue so they can investigate. The extractor fan is not working in my bathroom. There will be an isolation switch outside the bathroom – please ensure this is turned on before reporting as maintenance.

Their shower is flooding / not draining when they use it what should they do?

If your shower is blocked do not continue to shower with it running over the top, as this will cause a leak and damage to the house. You need to unblock showers regularly and ensure the plug is free from hair.

My washing machine door won’t open and my clothes are stuck inside – what should I do?

This often happens when the door is attempted to be opened before the door has unlocked after the cycle. Always wait 5 minutes before trying to open the door. If this is the case and it has been forced open this may be something that will require repairs that they may not cover the cost of. Sometimes, the washing machine will have a drain function, so please use this if possible before opening the door using a piece of string.

Their rubbish isn’t being collected – why is this?

Please ensure that you are disposing of your household waste correctly and putting it out on the correct day (preferably the night before as this ensures collection, a lot of students aren’t up at 9 am!). You can search online when collection days are/what you can and can’t put in each bin. This is important as the council reserve the right to refuse collection if the rubbish is disposed of incorrectly If you think you need more council bins, please let them know and they can put in a request. You can find information on bin collections on your council website.

They have received multiple emails about when a contractor is attending a maintenance issue: which one is correct?

Always listen to the most recent email. Unfortunately, their maintenance team may have to attend to emergency problems which can take priority over your maintenance, hence them rescheduling the visit date.

Their power has gone out in their house: what should they do?

Firstly check with your neighbours to see if this is an area fault. You can also check on the national grid. There may be something that has caused the electric to trip inside the house. You can check the fuse box and identify what has caused the outage. Often these can be re-engaged – please do not force switches up – if they cannot be re-engaged or the issue repeats itself please report as maintenance.

What is the best way to report maintenance?

For general maintenance, reporting it through the Portal will mean that the issue is resolved as quickly as possible for you.

What is the fair usage policy and what does it mean?

It is important to remember that your energy usage is not unlimited. You will be responsible for any additional costs if you exceed your allowance.

What happens if I stop being a full time student?

You can still live in your Crib until the end of your contracted period; however you will become liable for council tax during this time.

My Passport is expired, is this OK?

Yes, an expired Passport is acceptable for the check.

I rented with the property last year, do I still have to have a Right to Rent check?

Yes. A new Right to Rent check will need to be carried out even if you are renewing with them.

I have already uploaded my Passport to my Tenant Form, why do I have to upload it again?
