Nido Bristol

You will be asked to pay a holding deposit of £50 to complete your booking, and a £100 refundable tenancy deposit with your first (or only) instalment.

The holding deposit is a non-refundable payment which allows us to reserve your chosen room until the start of your tenancy.  The £50 will be deducted from your first (or only) instalment.

The tenancy deposit is a refundable £100 payment that is charged when you pay your first (or only) instalment. Once we receive this, it will be securely placed into the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and will be returned after you check-out providing there are neither damages nor any outstanding fees.

Updates To Policy
 

1. Flexible start dates. Arrive late, up until 90 days

• Reserve your room care-free. We've got you covered. If you are unable to start your Nido stay due to Covid-19 travel restrictions in the UK or your home country, you will not be charged for your unused room.
• The 'free late arrival' period (max. 90 days) will begin on your contract start date and will continue up until the date the relevant lockdown restrictions has been lifted or your University opens the course on campus.
• Students affected by Covid-19 restrictions will be able to take advantage of this policy, if you are either:
• not allowed to leave your home country due to your home country government travel restrictions;  
• unable to enter the UK due to UK travel restrictions;  
• have a postponed Semester 1 course start date;  
• or your University switched to 100% e-learning for Semester 1. 

2. Arriving after 90 days? We're here for you.

• If you are unable to start your Nido stay any later than 90 days following your contract start date, you will not be charged for the first 90 days of your licence agreement. However, the original terms of your licence agreement will resume on the 91st day which means you will need to pay for your stay from that day onwards.
• We understand this crisis has impacted many of you financially and we remain committed to supporting our students as much as we can during this time. Therefore, if you are affected by the 90+ days policy, you do have the option to find a replacement to take over your licence agreement. For any students facing financial hardship, we are here to listen and we will do everything we can to try and help. Please contact your Nido team, they will carefully review each situation on a case by case basis.

3. No place or visa? Don't Pay!

• Has your course changed to online learning for semester 1, 2, 3 or maybe even all 3?
• Has your course been cancelled?
• Have you not been able to get a visa?
• Or perhaps didn't get into Uni?

Not to worry, you will not be liable for any charges against your licence fees.

To be eligible for this policy you need to inform us in writing by the 17th August 2020 latest.

4. We match your new course date to your contract start date

If your course is postponed from its official 20/21 start date, we will happily align the start date of your licence agreement with the new start date of your Uni course. All we need is written confirmation from yourself and an official notice from the University. Please note that this date is non-negotiable.

Regular Policy

You get 7-days cool off period (Free cancellation period) from the time you book your room to cancel your booking. If you cancel within the 7-days period, you will get a full refund of your deposit.

If you are outside the 7-days cool off period, you may cancel, but are required to find a replacement tenant. Until a suitable replacement is found, you may not be released from the tenancy agreement and are liable to pay the rent.

If you are making a late application and your Check-in Date occurs before the 7-day period expires, your rights end on your check-in date

The Landlord may cancel, if you do not provide the required documents before the check-in, or pay the rent. Deposit will not be refunded and you will still be liable to pay any rent due.

Q. What are the Guest Policies?

Please note – during the on-going C-19 pandemic we are asking students to only interact with those in their bubble and not invite guests to the residences. We will update this policy as and when the guidelines change however you can view our standard policies below.

We do allow day and night guests, however, for your own safety and security, there are a few guest policies in place:

• You can have unlimited guests visiting during the day between 8am and midnight
• For overnight stays, one guest can stay for a maximum of three consecutive nights throughout the month
• All guests must be 18 years of age or over
• You will have to sign in your guests, and they must bring a photo ID to gain entry into the building
• You will be responsible for your guest throughout their time at Nido

Q. Can I change my room after I move-in?

If you’d like to move rooms, we’ll always try to accommodate it. Please do note that we can only offer room changes if there are rooms available to move into within your Nido and there is an understandable reason for wanting the change.

Keep in mind that different rooms can be offered at varying prices. The rates are based on a number of things, like the size of the room, location in the building and its availability so it may be that you will have to pay a different rate to occupy another room.

Q. What if I have a disability or special requirement?

The property has accessible rooms available at all our residences, so we want to make sure that everyone is able to have a safe and comfortable stay with us, so please let us know about any medical information or disabilities on your application, or contact us directly to find out more.
