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

I have more luggage than I'm able to carry in one trip - what should I do?

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, they’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 they’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.

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

No. Unfortunately they’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.

An item in the flat has stopped working. Will I be charged for it?

If an item in your flat has stopped working, please raise a maintenance request in the app before you check-out. If they are aware of items that need repairing in advance, and there has been no malicious damage, you won't be charged.

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.

Can I make repairs myself?

No. Your maintenance team will be happy to help with any repairs.

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

You can check-out on the app, just fill-in the check-out envelope and leave it in the key-return box at reception.

Where can I get a check-out envelope?

These are available from the reception team at your property. You can get prepared before you leave, and collect the envelope in advance of your check-out.

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, they’ll charge you to have them replaced.

How do I return my keys?

All keys need to be returned securely, so they provide a check-out envelope for you. Lock your bedroom door, check your postbox and then put all your keys, fobs and passes in the envelope. The envelope must be returned to the reception office at your Property and handed to a member of staff or left safely in the key return box.

Can I return my keys through the post?

No. If you’re unable to return your keys in person, please get in touch so they can advise you how to return your keys securely.

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.

How do I change my contact details?

You can still access your online account after you check-out. It is very important that you check they have the right contact details for you, especially your mobile number.

When can I check-out of my property?

If you are checking out in the app, you can leave at any time of day or night – just remember to return your keys, fobs and passes to your property team at reception in the check-out envelope provided.

Can I check-out before the end of my tenancy?

Yes. You can leave any time before your contract ends, and they will process your check-out early. You’ll need to begin the check-out process in the app and follow the step by step checklist, collect and fill out a checkout envelope and then return your keys, cards and fobs in the checkout envelope to a member of staff at reception. If you do decide to check-out early and surrender your tenancy, you won’t be entitled to any rent refund.

Why do some students check-out early?

It’s up to you if you choose to leave early. Students often choose leave when their exams have finished, or if they have plans for the summer period. Some students prefer to leave when it’s not so busy or when it’s easier to get a parking space. Some students are reliant on others helping them to move-out, whilst some students book a room and stay with them all summer.

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. Some of their properties have rooms available to book for the summer, so you may be able to extend your booking with them.

Is cleaning provided?

It’s your responsibility to clean both your room and the shared areas of your flat.

My flatmates never clean their communal area. What can I do?

All flatmates are responsible for keeping the communal areas clean and tidy. First, try to establish a cleaning rota. The rota is the key to working together to keep the place clean. All it takes is four simple steps:
* Make a list of the regular cleaning tasks that need to be done * Decide with your flatmates who’s doing what, and on which day * Write each task for each person in the relevant day column * Do your tasks on the relevant day, and tick the box when you’re done
If you're still having trouble getting your flatmates to do their part after establishing a rota and speaking to them about it, please speak to your team at reception who will try to help.
