We offer three alternative ways to pay your rent and you can choose whichever as a group suits you best:
TERMLY – Most students like to pay rent termly as loans are paid termly and if you pay in this way you know exactly how much money you have left for the rest of the term.
MONTHLY – Rent can be paid monthly if you would like to spread the cost of your accommodation evenly over the year
ANNUALLY – Rent can be paid annually, in which case we offer a discount of 3% on the total amount of rent for the year.
All deposits are protected and lodged with with one of the government approved deposit protection schemes, www.mydeposits.co.uk.
At the end of the your tenancy period, as long as your room and communal areas are in the same condition as when you moved in, you will get your deposit back promptly and in full.
No. Our tenancies cover Christmas and Easter holidays and you can leave all of your belongings in the property.
