When do I have to pay my rent?
Rent is paid in advance and you will have to make your first rent payment when you move in. If you live with us for the full academic year you will have to pay rent on 3 or 4 separate occasions depending on the length of your contract.
What happens if I want to cancel the contract?
This depends on when you wish cancel the contract. For more information, please see the relevant section of the Tenancy Agreement.

Who cleans the kitchens, showers and toilets?
Kitchens, showers and toilets are cleaned daily. However, for the kitchens to be cleaned properly, you have to make sure you clean up after you have used the kitchen. This means that pots, pans, plates, crockery and cutlery cannot be left to rot in sinks or on kitchen tables.

What should I do if I have a problem?
Just pop into the on-site office near the communal area. It's open Monday – Friday 8.30am – 1pm and 2pm – 4.30pm. Outside office hours, we have Subwardens on duty until midnight and we will give you information about them when you come to stay.
