Your rights and responsibilities are set out in your lease or tenancy agreement. There are some general rights and responsibilities that vary depending on what type of tenant you are.
As a part of our community, you have a wider responsibility and a duty to the community around you.
You, and any guests you invite into your home, must:
Be considerate and polite to all staff, fellow students and visitors
Keep your home clean and repair any damage you cause
Pay your rent on time
Allow us to enter, inspect or repair your home if we ask you to
Keep your home free from vermin, such as mice and cockroaches
You must not:
Cause a nuisance or disturb those living or working around you
Slam doors, inside or outside
Play music so that it can be heard in other areas
Use loud or abusive language
Smoke in any part of the building
Use illegal substances in the accommodation (If we think you are, we'll report it to the police)
Bring in any furniture or furnishings that don't meet our fire and safety regulations (Talk to our staff if you have any questions about this)
Leave things in shared areas, as this causes a fire risk
Visitors
You can have overnight visitors for up to 2 nights within a 7-day period. But you must tell everyone in your flat about your visitors.
You're responsible for how your guests behave and you must always be there with them. You can't let them stay or enter your home if you're not there.
