If you’re going to university for the first time, then one of the biggest things that you will want to get right is where you will be living.
While some students will have their own properties and others will continue to live with parents, most will be moving away from home and looking to rent student accommodation. If this is a new concept to you, then you may well be wondering how it’s done.
In this blog we detail the steps that Leicester students will take when looking to rent a student property from us here at Westmanor Student Living.
How to rent student accommodation with Westmanor
The first step to renting your student accommodation through us is to take a look online at all of the awesome properties which we have available and get in touch with the team to book your viewings of the properties you like. While we’re sure you’ll agree we’ve got the best selection of student properties in Leicester, remember, those who book their viewings nice and early get the pick of the very best, so it’s definitely something worth bearing in mind!
Once you’ve seen a property that you like, it’s time to complete the reservation and data consent forms and pay an advance rent payment of £100 (UK guarantor) or 25% of the rent (no guarantor) to reserve then tenancy documents will be sent directly to you via email. Each person that wishes to reserve the property will need to complete their own form, also we require a copy of photographic I.D. from each person.
Your tenancy agreement will be emailed to you within seven working days and you will need to return your signed contract within seven days of receiving the documents. After that, a moving date will be booked and a time agreed to collect the keys to your new property!
