When can I move in?

You can move in on or after the start date of your tenancy.

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?

All our show flats, and the images on our website, are representative of a particular room type unless labelled otherwise – however they are not identical. 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. Where there are other rooms available they will offer these as an alternative. Please be aware that these requests may incur a charge.

How do I collect my key?

You can collect your keys from reception when you arrive. Remember, if you have been asked to do so, make sure you have booked a check-in slot. At your allotted time, just come straight to the main reception with your photo ID and the team will have your keys ready and waiting for you.

What do I need to bring with me to check in?

You just need to bring a valid form of photo ID to prove who you are when you arrive. There’s no need to print off your tenancy agreement or booking confirmation. They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID.

What should I do if I don’t have photo ID?

They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID. If you don’t have any of these, please bring any proof of ID that you have. The team will check this and will need to ask a few security questions before they can provide you with your key.

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 we recommend putting in the effort to organise this ahead of everyone leaving.

What will happen when I arrive?

The team will be ready and waiting to check you in when you arrive, and give you the keys to your new room. If you have been asked to book a time slot for arrival, please make sure you stick to this. You will receive information on your new home and city and they'll let you know what to do if you need any help or support while settling in.

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. You can find out what’s included in your room by checking the information for your room type on your amber webpage.

I’ve moved into my room, what do I need to do now?

Aside from exploring the local area, meeting your flatmates and enrolling at your university, you should also consider the following;

Register with a GP – you can often do this on your university campus
Open a UK bank account – your university’s international office should be able to help you with this
Get a TV Licence – if you’ve got a TV in your flat or plan to watch TV online on your laptop you’ll need to get a TV licence.

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

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.

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. If you need to store your luggage locally, they've partnered with LOVESPACE who specialise in secure storage with collection and delivery options.

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 the property straight away.

If an item in your flat has stopped working, please raise a maintenance request in their 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. 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.

Why is my credit no longer showing on my statement?

If you have a credit on your account, you will be able to see this on your account statement. However, if you have an upcoming future instalment (within the next 10 days) any credit that has previously shown on your account will have now moved to offset the future instalment.

When does the heating turn on and how do I control it?

The heating in properties maintain a base temperature to stop rooms from getting cold. You’ll then find a thermostat in your individual rooms that you can use to alter how warm your room is. There are two types of thermostats in our properties. The most common version has a single boost button. When you hit the boost button on your thermostat, it means that the heating will ramp up for 45 minutes, and you can do this multiple times. But once it hits the upper temperature, you won’t be able to keep increasing it. Instead, it will simply maintain that level of warmth when you press the button. In some buildings, you'll find a different thermostat that has five different settings (off, low, medium, high, boost). You can choose which setting you would like to have the heating on, and then use the boost button to increase the temperature for 45 minutes. Once that temperature has been reached, the heating won’t come on again unless the thermostat senses a drop below that pre-set temperature.

How can I keep safe from fire in my flat?

Nothing is more important than your safety, and that includes keeping safe from fire in your flat. There’s safety equipment and systems on site that help to keep you safe every day, but there’s a part for you to play too. Here’s the best ways to keep fire safe in your flat: Keep doorways and hallways free from obstructions Keep fire doors closed and never wedge them open Switch on your cooker extractor fan when you cook Never leave your cooking unattended Don’t start cooking if you’re tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol Never cover a heater or dry your clothes on them Never cover a smoke detector Use the bathroom fan when showering - steam, and even deodorant spray, can set off the smoke alarm Never use faulty electrical equipment Be careful to not overload plug sockets or extension leads when in use (appliances which give off heat should only ever be plugged in alone eg hairdryers etc) And around the building: Keep all exits and hallways clear of any obstructions Never wedge communal fire doors open Report any faults with fire doors or equipment to us as soon as you spot them Never block emergency access to your building Familiarise yourself with fire escapes and your fire assembly point Only use the dedicated smoking areas and never smoke or vape inside And remember, tampering with fire safety equipment is against the law.

How can I prevent false fire alarms?

False activations are frustrating. Not only do they disrupt you, but they can also make others become too relaxed when it comes to hearing the fire alarm. You should never assume a fire alarm is just a false activation, and always evacuate whenever you hear the alarm.
