The Contract - (NB Deposit is
usually £250 per person) 
We always use an Assured Short hold Contract.
This is a ‘joint and several’ agreement between us and you, the group of students who together are ‘the
Tenant’. Consequently, you will only have to pay one TV licence for the whole
house.
A sample contract can be download below for your
inspection.
Before you move in, we supply two copies of the
contract with your names, address etc on them. You keep one copy (this has our
signature on it), we keep one copy (with your signatures on it).
At the point of moving in, we will ask you
to check the printed Inventory and
Schedule of Condition. This is where you confirm that the furniture and
equipment is all as it should be and where you can record with us any items
that are missing, marked or damaged before you start your tenancy. You can also
request any additional furniture, shelving, mirrors, notice boards, hooks etc
if you require them. Unless it is impractical to meet these requests we aim to
do so within a few days of you moving in.
If the house is not perfectly clean & in
good decorative order (we aim to hand it over to you in ‘hotel clean’ standard)
it is very important that you report this immediately & our repair &
cleaning team will be in to rectify matters, usually within 24 hours.
At this point the following will be in place …
