Does my rental price include room cleaning?
Cleaning services are available at some properties for an additional fee unless otherwise specified as part of your rent.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets of any kind are permitted, except for registered assistance dogs.
What can I bring?
You can bring most of your belongings. However, non-UK compliant electrical items, such as certain rice cookers, are not suitable for use with UK power outlets and may pose fire risks.
Can I choose who I live with?
If applying with friends, use the "Create Application" link online, list your friends’ names, and we’ll assist in coordinating your living arrangements.
Can I choose my room?
Yes, by following the "Book Now" process, you can select your preferred room. Alternatively, you can make special requests when using the "Create Application" route. These are subject to availability.
Can I request to move rooms during my tenancy?
Submit a formal request to your property’s accommodation team. If approved, new documents confirming the move will need to be signed or accepted online. Any rent difference for a more expensive room will be applicable from the date you move in.
Do you provide summer accommodation?
Yes, summer bookings usually open in March. Check our website or contact the property team for details.
Do I have to move out during holidays?
No, your room is yours for the full contract period, including academic breaks.
Can I move in before my contract starts?
Early arrival may be possible. Contact us, and if approved, your contract will be updated with additional charges.
Does my rental price include insurance?
Some properties include contents insurance, as detailed on the property page. Confirm with the property manager upon check-in or contact the property team to verify. If not included, we recommend arranging your own insurance. Student Room Finder is not responsible for loss or damage to personal belongings.
Do I need to pay Council Tax?
Full-time students are exempt from Council Tax. Provide your council tax exemption certificate, which your university can arrange. If you don't have it at move-in, bring your university name and student ID number.
How can I recycle?
Recycling facilities are provided throughout our properties. Please ensure waste is sorted into the correct bins to avoid contamination. Items that can be recycled include:
- Plastics: bottles, cups, containers
- Cardboard and Paper: newspapers, pizza boxes
- Aluminium and Steel: drinks cans, food cans
Items not suitable for recycling include batteries, appliances, food waste, and sanitary products. Let's work together to reduce landfill waste!
Does my rental price include car parking?
On-site car parking is available at select properties for an additional fee. Permits are separate from your tenancy agreement, and spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact the property team for details.
How are rooms allocated?
Room allocation is based on your application preferences and any special requests. While we strive to meet all requests, they are subject to availability unless required by a disability under the Equality Act 2010. If you have specific needs related to culture, religion, gender, or health, please disclose them in the application form so we can assist you effectively.
