THE ACCOMMODATION SERVICE
The Accommodation service offered to student’s is two fold.
The first service is the Private Sector Accommodation service and the second is the Property Management Scheme.
Private Sector Accommodation
Students in all years can benefit from the Private Sector Accommodation service.
Advice can be obtained from the accommodation officer on a wide range of housing issues such as council tax, signing contracts and dealing with dodgy landlords!
If the accommodation officer is unable to help you with a query they should be able to point you in the right direction to someone who should be able to help.
If you have an accommodation query you contact the office via phone, email or pop into the office at any time. Booking an appointment maybe necessary during busy times.
Property Management Scheme
The Students’ Union also runs a Property Management scheme. The aim of this scheme is to provide a hassle-free service to students. All dealings with the landlord go through the office resulting in a quick and effective system that benefits students. Houses on this scheme have to meet a minimum standard set by the
There are no fees attached to this scheme which means the rent levels are a true reflection of the property.
If you have any question contact Cindy Chan.
