Question 10

How do I report an act of anti-social behaviour?

Accepted Answer

The accommodation teams are available 24/7 to support you with any concerns around anti-social behaviour in your property. You can contact the residence team via the property telephone, live chat or email or speak to one of the team in reception. They can then take appropriate action. This might include speaking to the resident(s) in question about the obligations in their tenancy agreement and the effect of their behaviour on others, or informing their guarantor, university or other authorities. If you witness an incident where there is immediate risk to others, you should alert emergency services by ringing 999 immediately.

Question 11

What room type can I book with friends?

Accepted Answer

Shared flat This is the most common room type booked by a group of friends. Shared flats, with or without individual en-suites, go from three bedrooms to ten, so you can live with a smaller or bigger group of friends. You will need to speak to your property team directly about their shared flat availability, to make sure you’re booking the one that’s right for you. Two-bedroom apartment If it’s just you and one other mate, then you might prefer a two-bedroom apartment rather than a shared flat. You’ll have your own bedrooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen/living area, which will be easier to keep tidy with just two of you! Only select properties have two-bedroom apartments, so be sure to double check on the property page when making your booking.

Question 12

What room types are available for dual occupancy?

Accepted Answer

Only Studio rooms, of any style, can be booked under a dual occupancy.
