Question 2

Some studio types allow double occupancy; can my friend stay with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to confirm with the apartment that the type of room you choose allows double occupancy, and the other occupant must be a student.

Question 3

What are the main differences between Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum room types?

Accepted Answer

The primary difference lies in the size of the rooms; however, all types share the same furnishings and decoration style. Note that there may be slight variations between apartments in different cities.

Question 4

Can I change my room if I don't like it?

Accepted Answer

If another student cancels their room or agrees to swap with you, you can contact the property team at the apartment, and they will do their best to accommodate your request. However, aside from the differences in room types and sizes, all rooms have the same furnishings and amenities.

Question 5

Can I check in early?

Accepted Answer

If you need to check in early, please contact your consultant. If the apartment has available rooms for the corresponding rental period and you agree to the additional rent, early check-in can be arranged.

Question 6

How should I pay the rent?

Accepted Answer

You can choose to pay annually, quarterly, or monthly.

Question 7

Will the rent be automatically deducted from my bank card if not paid by the due date?

Accepted Answer

No. You need to log into your apartment system account and set up your payment method, which can be done online or at the apartment's front desk. Bank transfers can also be used, but they are usually reserved for special circumstances (like difficulties in online payment/failure). We prefer the first two payment methods. You can select your payment method when you submit your booking application.

Question 8

When do I need to pay the deposit?

Accepted Answer

When you submit the application and accept the contract.

Question 9

When can I get my deposit back?

Accepted Answer

Your deposit will be refunded after your lease expires, provided that you successfully complete the check-out inspection (i.e., no damage to the room amenities or other cleaning issues). During this period, your deposit will be held by a deposit protection platform, either [Deposit Protection Service] or [My Deposit Scotland].

Question 10

Can I have my package delivered before moving in?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of room you have booked; the best approach is to contact the apartment's property team to confirm. If allowed, make sure to clearly write your full name and room number on the package for staff to store it properly.

Question 11

What type of guarantor do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

The guarantor should be aware of your living situation and agree to your rent payments. If there is a delay in payment, the apartment will contact your guarantor. They must be over 18, employed full-time, and have a stable residence. Generally, the guarantor may be asked to provide proof of address to confirm their identity.

Question 12

Do I need to pay local taxes?

Accepted Answer

If you are a qualifying full-time student, you will be exempt from paying local taxes. You must provide the apartment with evidence that proves you are a full-time student.

Question 13

When can I check in?

Accepted Answer

You can check in when the lease starts; if you arrive outside of business hours, it’s best to inform the apartment in advance so they can arrange the check-in.

Question 14

How do I receive my access card?

Accepted Answer

After you complete the check-in process at the front desk, you can pick up your access card from the apartment's front counter.

Question 15

Can someone else pick up my access card for me?

Accepted Answer

No, for security reasons, your access card can only be picked up by you.

Question 16

Can I smoke inside the room?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons, smoking is prohibited in the apartment, which is equipped with smoke detectors. If you need to smoke, please ask the apartment's front desk to find out where the designated smoking area is.
