Living with us at Campus Living Villages

Applying to live with us is easy! All applications are handled online, and should take no more than ten minutes. Please make sure you have all your booking details to hand such as Student ID (don’t worry if you don’t have one yet), bank information and emergency contact details. Click 'Book Now' in the top right to start your application.

All students need to have a guarantor when they book with us. This should be an adult who is willing to meet the terms and conditions of your agreement if you are not able to. As part of the booking process, you will be asked to provide your guarantor’s contact details including email address, home address and telephone number. Your guarantor will subsequently receive an email with a link to the Guarantor Agreement page.​

As part of the application process, you will be asked to sign an assured short hold tenancy agreement or a licence agreement for a minimum tenancy period. These are legally binding contracts. You will be able to see the agreement online before you accept the offer.

Your contract will include the Christmas and Easter holidays, so there is no need to move out and vacate your room at Christmas or Easter.

You can select which room suits your needs in the resident portal. So, whether you prefer to live independently in a studio or share a flat with a group of friends it is up to you. Our rooms are in high demand so the earlier you book the more choice you will have.

Want to live with your friend and make an application as a group? Our online application portal enables you to choose your own room. Just follow our simple application process via the resident portal to ensure that you get the flat and room you all want.

Some of our locations can cater for couples. For dual or twin occupancy availability please call +44 (0)161 850 6664.

Please note: We are not able to provide accommodation for under 18s or non-students during term time in the majority of our locations.​​

Rooms for the next academic year usually go live at the beginning of November. You can speak to the Village Team to let them know you are interested in booking again and they will contact you to ensure you get the best choice of rooms at the best rates.​​

If you need to cancel your booking with us, you can do so but you may still be liable to pay your rent if you completed your booking and are outside the cooling off period. You would need to let us know, in writing as soon as you know you will not be living with us.

You can find our cancellation policy in your tenancy agreement and in our terms and conditions.​​

The majority of our properties have accessible rooms available; you can find out more about these rooms and check their availability on each of the village pages. Upon booking an accessible room, or if you have any other disability or medical condition that requires our support, please contact our team on +44 (0)161 850 6664, so we can understand your specific requirements.

If you need special consideration because of a medical condition, you may be asked to provide a supporting letter from your doctor. Please include all relevant information on your application.​​

We understand this is an uncertain time and that is why now more than ever it is important to us that you feel comfortable and supported when you choose to live with us.

We know that keeping you informed of changes to these temporary policies is really important. That’s why we have assembled an Incident Management Team in each country, as well as a Global Crisis Management Team to actively monitor updates and seek guidance from the relevant health authorities. Both teams meet regularly to review the information received, and align our policies and processes accordingly.

*Terms and conditions apply

If you are unable to arrive on your village’s specified check in date(s), there’s no need to worry – you can check in at any time of day once your contract starts. If you intend to arrive within two weeks of your contract start date, we ask that you book a check in slot – you can do this in the resident portal.

Most of our properties have staff on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you arrive late at night and no-one is around, you can call the out of hours phone number for the village, which can be found on our contact us page.

You will have access to free unlimited, high-speed Wi-Fi via our ASK4 network. Simply open your internet browser once you arrive, fill in the registration form and the world (wide web) is your oyster.

If you need any support, you can call ASK4 on +44(0)114 303 3232.​

Once you arrive, it’s important that you complete the online room inventory in the resident portal within the first few days of your arrival. This is your record of the room condition when you arrived and will be used to help you get your deposit back at the end of your stay.

Be sure to lock your bedroom door before you leave so no-one else can use it or make a mess.

You and your flatmates hold a shared responsibility for the cleaning of communal areas in your flat, such kitchens, corridors, and/or living space, so you’ll need to make sure these areas are clean and tidy before you leave, and that all personal belongings have been removed. Any charges for communal area cleaning and/or removing of belongings will be shared equally between all flatmates responsible.

You can request that our team conduct a face-to-face check-out inspection on the day you leave, but this may not always be possible depending on our availability at the time. If we are not able to conduct a face-to-face check-out inspection, you can email photos of how you left your room and communal areas to us. This can be especially useful if you’re moving out before your flatmates.

It’s a great idea to speak with your flatmates several weeks before check-out so you can agree how you will all help to ensure communal areas are left clean, as well as emptying cupboards and fridge freezers. By working together, the cleaning can be shared equally.

You and your flatmates hold a shared responsibility for the cleaning of communal areas in your flat, such kitchens, corridors, and/or living space, so you’ll need to make sure these areas are clean and tidy before you leave, and that all personal belongings have been removed. Any charges for communal area cleaning and/or removing of belongings will be shared equally between all flatmates responsible.

If your flatmates have vacated without cleaning the communal areas, you can decide whether or not to clean the kitchen yourself. Any subsequent communal cleaning charges will apply to all flatmates (including you), so we always recommend speaking with your flatmates several weeks before check-out so you can agree on how you will all help to ensure communal areas are left clean, and cupboards and fridge freezers are left empty. By working together, the cleaning can be shared equally.

To avoid charges for cleaning, you should make sure your room and bathroom are clean and tidy, and that your personal belongings have been removed.

Any charges for communal area cleaning and/or removing of belongings will be shared equally between all flatmates responsible.

You must not attempt to repair broken or damaged items yourself, nor should you ask a friend or family member to do so for you. This could be very dangerous to you and your flatmates and may cause additional damage, which will likely result in increased damage charges.

It’s always better to tell us if an item is damaged or stops working before you check out so a staff member can provide advice. You can also raise a maintenance request in the resident portal.

We encourage all residents to complete a room inventory check when they first check in. This is to ensure we take a fair and consistent approach to damage charges during check out.

We conduct our own inspections prior to you arriving, so if you forgot to tell us about pre-existing damage, or did not complete your room inventory check, we may have a record of this on our own inspection records and, in this instance, you will not be charged.

If we do not have any record of the damage prior to your arrival (either from our own records, or your inventory check), we will only apply a charge if there has been malicious damage or if the repair or replacement results in a cost to Campus Living Villages.

It’s always better to tell us if an item is damaged or stops working before you check out so a staff member can provide advice. You can also raise a maintenance request in the resident portal.

Some types of damage (e.g., light scuffs on walls) may be treated as general wear and tear (at our discretion).

We will only apply a charge if there has been malicious damage or if the repair or replacement results in a cost to Campus Living Villages.​

You and your flatmates hold a shared responsibility for any damage caused to communal areas in your flat, and if a flatmate is willing to accept full responsibility for damage caused, we will not charge anyone other than that person.

If no one accepts responsibility, the charge will be split evenly between all flatmates. We will only apply a charge if there has been malicious damage or if the repair or replacement results in a cost to Campus Living Villages.​

We will only apply a charge if there has been malicious damage or if the repair or replacement results in a cost to Campus Living Villages.​

If you paid a pre-arrival rent instalment, this went towards your overall rent and was part of your instalment schedule, so won’t be returned to you. You can review the instalment schedule for your tenancy by reviewing your contract in the resident portal.​

If you think you have overpaid your rent, please contact the Customer Contact Village on +44 (0)161 850 6664 or contact@campuslivingvillages.co.uk who will be happy to arrange a refund of any overpaid rent.

Please note, refunds can take up to 28 days from the date of request.​

Your deposit is protected by the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) – the largest deposit protection scheme provider in the UK. After you vacate your room, we will complete a check out inspection, and send your Final Account Statement within seven days of your contract end date.

The Final Account statement will provide information on any charges for cleaning and/or damage (if any have been applied to your account), as well as any balances due for rent (if applicable). These charges will be deducted from your deposit amount, and if they exceed the deposit amount held, you will be asked to arrange payment for the outstanding balance immediately.

DPS will email you 28 days after you receive your Final Account Statement and provide details about how you can have your deposit returned by them. You will then need to log into the DPS website and complete specific actions before they will return your deposit.​

You are welcome to vacate your room before your contract ends. You’ll need remove all personal belongings, return your keys, and tell a member of staff that you’re leaving early.

If you do decide to check-out early, you won’t be entitled to any rent refund.​

You can extend your stay with us, with prices starting from as little as £18.50 per night, meaning you can enjoy the summer months, and take time out to explore your surroundings or relax.

We also offer a two-week cancellation policy which gives you the flexibility to change your plans up to 14 days prior to your summer booking start date without any cancellation or amendment fees.

Please fill out the form on our short stays page for more information.​

If you are not able to return your keys in person, please contact the Village Team.

Campus Living Villages cannot accept responsibility for keys that are lost in the post, and you may be charged for the cost of replacement keys if we do not receive them.​

To avoid charges for cleaning, you should make sure your personal belongings have been removed from your room and communal areas before you leave.

We aim to conduct your check-out inspection within seven days of your contract end date. Following this, we will email you with a Final Account Statement. This timeframe can be delayed if we need to determine charges for cleaning or damage, but we’ll let you know if this is the case.

You can request that our team conduct a face-to-face check-out inspection on the day you leave, but this may not always be possible depending on our availability at the time.
