You will need to collect your keys before you start unloading your car. Once you have your keys, you can use the small car park for 20 minutes while you unload your things. However, please bear in mind we will have lots of students wanting to do the same, so please use a local car park after that.

*Students allocated a room in flats 29 - 50 will have a kettle provided for them.

We hope you are as excited as we are about your stay with us and won’t need to cancel your room… But we know unexpected things can happen from time to time.

So, if you do need to cancel your contract:

Up to and including 45 days before the start of your tenancy
You can cancel at any time during this period, but there will be a reasonable administration charge.

Within 45 days of your contract start date
During the last 45 days before the start of your tenancy – you will only be able to cancel the contract if a suitable replacement tenant is found to take your place. Either you can find a suitable replacement tenant yourself, or we can find one for you. However, if it is left to us, we will only do this after all our other rooms have been let. In either case, there will be a reasonable administration charge.

Note: If no replacement tenant is found, you will be responsible for payment of the rent in full, even if you do not move into the property.

Tenancy Agreement

The Sample Tenancy Agreement gives you an idea of the terms and conditions of your contract with us. 

TV licence

You may want to bring a TV with you for your room and please feel free to do so, but please remember if you will be watching live TV or receive or record live TV programs, you will need a TV license. This applies to all other devices you may watch TV on too such as laptops and iPads. You won’t be covered on your parents’ license or our licenses as they over cover the TV’s we provide in common rooms and lounge areas.

You now also need a TV license to watch BBC iPlayer.

To find out more, look at payment plans or to buy your license, visit the TV Licensing website. 

The authorities do recognise that most students do not need the final three months of a license as you leave our accommodation during the summer, so you may be able to receive a refund for this period if you don’t need it again before it expires.

Remember, if you do not have a TV license and you receive or record live TV, you could face prosecution from the TV Licensing Authority.

Laundry

We know washing your clothes can be a boring chore, so we use Circuit Laundry Systems at Moor Lane Halls to make it as quick and easy as possible.

All you need to do is purchase a top-up card to pay for your washing and drying in advance either online or using one of the on-site machines. Or why not download the Circuit app, you can top your card up straight from your phone making it even quicker and easier. The laundry is open 24 hours a day.

Ask our team about getting a top-up card and there are plenty of ​​​​​​Circuit’s ‘how to use’ videos for more information.
