For International Students

Past these 7 days, the student remains liable for the rent for the whole length of the tenancy unless
they want to cancel with one of these 3 conditions:

 No Place No Pay: if the student fails their exams or is rejected by the UK University, the
student needs to send us the university rejection letter, or proof that the exam results don’t
meet the requirements of the university, and we will cancel the booking and refund the
money to the student. The student must send us the proof documents within 7 days of
receiving them. This policy is valid until the 15th September.
 No Visa No Pay: if the student doesn’t get their visa to come and study in the UK, the
student must send us the visa application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and we
will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. This policy is valid until the
15th September.
 No ATAS certificate, No Pay: Some international students coming to the UK to study in very
specific fields need to apply for an ATAS certificate. (Academic Technology Approval
Scheme). If a student’s ATAS certificate application is rejected we will cancel the booking
and refund the money to the student. The student must send us the ATAS certificate application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and we will cancel the booking and
refund the money to the student.
This policy is valid until the 15th September. The cancellation requests along with the proof documents must be sent by the student

Replacement tenant found: if the student finds a replacement tenant to take over his room with the
same tenancy length and same weekly rate, we can process the booking for the new student, and
once the offer has been accepted by the new student and his guarantor, and that they have paid the
£250 (if applicable), we will release the original student from their contract.
Passed the 15th September, the No Place No Pay and No Visa No Pay do not apply.
The student remains liable for the rent unless they find a replacement.

Q. Can I move in early?

Our standard tenancies have fixed dates and cannot be changed. However, if you are looking to move in earlier it may be possible to book an additional short stay tenancy, this will involve signing another set of paperwork and you will be charged for any additional nights.

Q. What documents do I need to bring to the property when I move in? 

Please bring an official form of ID with you e.g. passport or provisional/driving licence. If you have not already returned the original signed tenancy agreement you should also bring these with you.

Q. What are the reception hours of the property? 

These hours can vary from property to property and as business dictates. Most properties will advertise their opening hours at their reception.

Q. Where can I park to unload?

Parking varies from property to property but there is generally limited drop off parking available.

Q. Can My family/friends stay for a few nights after dropping me off?

It is best to speak with the staff at the property to find out if this is ok. If it is only for an evening or two, that is usually fine.

Q. Where do I get my keys?

You can collect your keys from reception when you check in. Just come straight to the main reception with your photo ID and they will have the keys ready and waiting for you.

Q. I have been given a time slot but I might miss it?

That’s fine, you can arrive at any time that is best for you and we’ll get someone to come and let you in and get your keys for you.

Q. Can I have post delivered to the site even though I am not there yet?

If you are having anything delivered before you arrive just to make sure someone knows that it will be arriving there. You can notify the staff at the property of this so they can look after the parcels for you.

Q. Can you store my luggage if I get it delivered to the site before I arrive?

As we will be preparing the room for your arrival, we will not be able to store any luggage for you before you arrive.

Q. How can I get directions to the property?

The easiest way to get directions would be to search the postcode on Google maps and find the directions on there.

Q. How can I get from the train station/airport to the property?

There may be many different transportation options but you can pre-book a cab-link to the property before your arrival.

Q. I haven't yet signed my paperwork, can I still move in?

We will need your signed tenancy agreement and payment information before you move in.

Q. What time can I move in from? 

You can move in any time from the start date of your tenancy onwards. If you are going to be arriving much later than the start of your tenancy, just let us know and we will arrange for someone to be there to greet you and make sure you get the keys for your new home.

Q. Can I have friends/family to stay overnight?

We want you to consider your Unite Students room as your home and are happy for you to have guests to stay. All we ask is that you let the on-site team know and that you consider your other flatmates and treat them with courtesy. You are responsible for any guests that you have staying with you and are liable if they cause any problems.
