FAQS

Are bills included in student properties?

In most of our student properties with 3 or more bedrooms, the landlord will include a contribution towards the utilities which will include gas, electricity and water. Tenants will be responsible for any usage above and beyond this amount. Broadband will be provided free of charge.

Are there any fees or a deposit?

We don’t charge any fees or ask for any advance rent payment. For student properties, we take a deposit of £200 for each tenant that will be registered and protected with a government approved deposit protection scheme.

What length are the contracts?

With the introduction of the Renters Rights Bill in May 2026, all tenancies will run on a periodic basis. This means that they continue on a rolling basis until notice is given to end the tenancy. 

For Student properties, we look to regain possession of the properties in the summer to prepare them for the next group of student tenants using ground 4a.

Do I need to pay council tax?

If you are a full-time student following a full time higher education course, you qualify for council tax exemption, meaning that you do not need to pay council tax. Occasionally we need to show the council evidence that you are enrolled on a full-time course. Anyone who is not a full-time student will need to pay council tax.

How often do I pay rent?

Rent for student properties is payable on the 1st of each month by standing order.

You can also opt to pay in installments to coincide with student loan issue dates.

For residential properties, rent is paid monthly on the first day of the month.

How do I pay the rent?

The tenancy agreement has a ‘method of payment’ page with the bank account details. Payments should be made by BACs or electronic bank transfer. For the payment reference, please put your property number and street name. eg 52 North Hill.

Can I smoke in my room?

No smoking is allowed in any of our properties. This is for the safety and well being of all tenants. If you do choose to smoke, please do so outside and dispose of cigarette butts in a suitable container, not on the ground.

Can I end my tenancy early or pull out of my contract before I move in?

Your tenancy agreement commits you moving in and paying your rent for the property. If you wish to end your tenancy early, you will need to find a suitable replacement tenant to take over your tenancy. Otherwise rent will be payable until the notice period expires. 

Does my property come with car parking?

We have a small number of properties that have private, off-road parking spaces. For any parking on the street, you may be able to apply for permits through Plymouth City Council (PCC) who control this. All enquiries for permits should be made directly with PCC (visit www.plymouth.gov.uk).
