A Lettings Agreement is the legal contract that outlines the terms of your stay in student accommodation. The specific type of agreement depends on where your property is located. In England, it is known as a Common Law Tenancy; in Scotland, a Licence Agreement; and in Wales, an Occupation Contract. Throughout the website, the term "Lettings Agreement" refers to the applicable agreement for your accommodation location.

Booking a room is simple and can be completed online through the website. Choose your preferred property and room type, then follow the booking steps provided.

After paying the advance rent, you'll receive a room offer by email with instructions to complete your booking and sign your Lettings Agreement. Be sure to complete these steps within the specified deadline to secure your room.

Your rent includes utility bills such as gas, electricity, and water, along with Wi-Fi and contents insurance for your personal belongings.

Please note that if you use a television, you may need to purchase a TV licence separately. Council tax is generally not applicable to full-time students, but charges may apply if you are no longer a full-time student or if a non-student shares your accommodation.

Your tenancy agreement usually requires you to pay rent for the full contract period. If you wish to leave early, please contact the property team as soon as possible.

In some cases, you may be released from your agreement if a suitable replacement tenant takes over your room. Any eligible rent refund will only be processed once the new tenant's booking is confirmed and their initial payment has been received. Students who withdraw from their studies for medical reasons may also be eligible for an early release, subject to providing supporting documentation from their university.

Rent payments are due on the dates specified in your tenancy agreement. These instalments are typically scheduled to align with university terms and student finance payment dates.

If you do not have a guarantor, you may be required to pay your rent in full before moving in. Please refer to your tenancy agreement for your specific payment schedule.
