An emotional support animal provides emotional support or passive comfort that helps alleviate one or more symptoms of a disability.

However, despite the lack of specific statutory provisions for emotional support animals, they are still deemed as reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act.

What bedding is suitable for a 3/4 sized bed?

A 3/4 sized bed is larger than a single but slightly smaller than a standard double. It's worth checking online for 3/4 sized bedding specifically as many stockists now offer this. Otherwise, they would recommend opting for bedding that fits a small to standard double bed.

I want to move or upgrade my room. Can I do this?

Your room will have all the same features and fittings, just in a slightly different set up. If you are unhappy with your room, please speak to the reception team.

No. For security reasons, they can only give your room key directly to you.

I'm going to be late - do I need to let you know?

Is there anything I can't bring with me when I move in?

Please leave anything illegal out of your new home. Candles and other hazardous items are not allowed either. Unfortunately you'll need to leave any pets at home too. If you need a guide dog or working dog to assist you, please get in touch to discuss your options. Fridges are another no-no. However, they do make some exceptions, for example if you’ve got a medical reason to have one. You'll need to check this with your property team before you move in.

Are things like pots, pans and cutlery provided in the kitchen?

You’ll need to bring your own pots, pans and other kitchen items.

Please try to pack consciously and only bring the things you really need with you on check-in day. They want to get you to your new room as quickly and safely as possible. You may need to make multiple trips to bring in luggage and the property team can supply trolleys (if available).

My flatmate didn't help to clean the kitchen. What do I do?

It's a good idea to plan for your check-out in advance of the end of your tenancy, so you can share the cleaning responsibilities. You and your flatmates are equally responsible for leaving the cupboards, fridge, and freezer empty and the kitchen clean. If your flatmates have left without cleaning the kitchen it is your choice whether you do the cleaning yourself. Any charges will apply to all flatmates – yourself included – so they recommend putting in the effort to organise this ahead of everyone leaving.

My flatmate has left food in the freezer. What do I do?

Speak with your flatmates in advance of check-out to make sure all cupboards and the fridge/freezer will be left empty. It’s important to work together so that the activity can be shared equally. If any food or belongings are left in the kitchen, we’ll need to apply a charge for them to be removed, and the charge will be split equally between everyone in the flat including yourself. If you are the last person to check-out of your flat, they recommended that you make the decision on any food left in the cupboards, fridge or freezer – you may want to take it with you, donate it to the foodbank or dispose of it responsibly.

Do I need to clean my room and flat before I check-out?

Yes. You’re responsible for leaving your room clean and empty. You can recycle or donate unwanted items, and all rubbish must be disposed of responsibly. Any items left in your room will be removed, and we’ll need to apply a charge for this. If you’re sharing a flat, it’s a good idea to find out when everyone is leaving so that the cleaning in your kitchen and hallway can be shared equally. Please leave your kitchen / lounge / hallway clean and empty – don’t forget to clean inside the fridge and freezer, and to empty your cupboards to avoid cleaning charges. If there are any items or food left in the kitchen or hallway, then removal charges may apply. All cleaning, damage and removal charges will be split equally between all tenants.

My Blu-Tack won't come off the wall, what can I do?

They ask that any damages are reported to them when you check-out, and a member of staff may be able to give you some advice. Some light marks (like blu-tack) may be acknowledged as wear and tear. They will only charge you if the damage requires them to paint a wall before the next student moves in.

Can you store my luggage for a short time after I check out?

No. Unfortunately we’re not able to store anything in the property after check-out, so you’ll need to take all of your belongings with you.

I left something in my room – can I come and pick it up?

You must leave your room empty. If you left any belongings in your room or kitchen by mistake, please get in touch with them straight away. They will remove the items and put them into safe storage at your property, where they will be kept for 14 days (from the day you checked out). You will need to contact your Property Team and make arrangements with them to collect your belongings. After the 14 days has passed, any uncollected items will be recycled, donated to charity, or disposed of responsibly.

Where can I park to load up the car?

It may be difficult to park directly outside your property, so they recommend researching alternative parking in the area.

I have a damage or cleaning charge to pay following my check out inspection. How can I make the payment?

You can make your payment and check how much is due by logging into My Account. Please pay any charges as soon as possible to avoid receiving a late payment fee.

I forgot to put on the inventory that there was some damage when I moved in. Will I be charged?

They need to be fair and consistent with their approach to damage charges, which is why they encourage you to complete the inventory thoroughly when you first move in. They document any damage on their own room checks so they will have a record of this damage, and can cancel any charges for damage you didn’t cause. Please speak to staff in your Property Team if you need to report damages before you check-out.

An item in the flat was damaged by my flatmate. Will I get charged for it too?

They do charge for damages, however, if the person responsible for causing the damage is willing to take full responsibility, then they will only charge that person. If no one accepts the responsibility for damages in a communal area, then the charge will be split equally between everyone in the flat. It's better to report damages whilst you’re living with them so they can get it fixed, and you can avoid any charges when you leave. If something has been damaged – even if by accident - please report it to a member of your Property Team straight away.

Can I make repairs myself?

No. Your maintenance team will be happy to help with any repairs, so please log your maintenance request through their App.

How do I check-out?

When you’re ready to check out, simply head down to reception and speak to one of our team. They'll help check you out, and collect your keys before you leave.

What happens if nobody is at reception when I check-out?

They have staff at their reception desks between 8am and 8pm ready to help you check out. If you need to check out outside of these hours, pop down to see one of their team in advance and they'll be happy to help.

What keys do I need to return?

You need to return all the keys they gave you on check-in, including any additional ones you purchased during your stay. This includes physical keys, key cards, fobs, post box keys, and additional access to areas like the gym and bike stores. Their properties have different types of keys and access systems, so they’ve listed everything here. If there are any types of key missing when you check-out, we’ll charge you to have them replaced.

I've checked out, but had something delivered to my property by mistake. Can you send this to me?

They cannot forward or store any parcels or letters for you after you check out, and any items that are delivered will be returned to the sender. It is your responsibility to update your address details with the companies you shop with, before you leave. If you do have something due to be delivered by mistake, please contact your Property Team immediately.

What’s the latest time I can check out?

You will need to have left your room & kitchen clean and empty before 10.00am on the last day of your tenancy. You must speak to your Property Team as soon as possible if you anticipate this being a problem.
