Q. What happens if I left something in my room after I have checked out?

Once you have left your room and checked out you should have taken all of your items with you, therefore all the items left behind are disposed of without liability.  You must ensure that all of your items are taken with you.

Q. When will I get my deposit back?

Your deposit will be returned to you within 30 days of the end of your tenancy, if there are any deductions then you will be alerted to this.  You will be contacted by the DPS to arrange the return.

Q. What happens after I have checked out?

Following your departure the onsite team will conduct an inspection of your room and communal areas, they will check this against the check-in inspection (and inventory form completed).  If there are any issues or damages then they will then contact you with information on damages and charges.

Q. Can you store my luggage for me once I have left?

No.  We are not able to store any items following your departure so you will need to take them all with you, or organize for a storage company to assist

Q. Can I leave my items in my room if I have rebooked for next year?

If you have rebooked for next year however your current tenancy ends before the beginning of your next tenancy, then you will need to speak to the onsite team to have a summer short stay tenancy to fill in this gap.

Q. An item in the kitchen has been broken, will I be charged for it?

The property does charge for damages in the rooms and communal areas. In the kitchen, this is a shared space with shared responsibilities and unless one person takes full responsibility (and therefore the full charge), then this will be split between all people in the cluster.

Q. What do I need to do to check out?

You will need to ensure that your room (and kitchen) is left clean, tidy and free of waste.  All of your items need to be removed, with the room left in the same condition that you found it.
