Due to the Flexible Booking Policy being reviewed and decided on a case-by-case basis by the apartments, there is no strict uniform standard.

Question 14

What should I do if I want to terminate the agreement and move out?

Accepted Answer

If you wish to terminate your lease, you must notify the advisor or the apartment in writing, and you must fill out the apartment&#x27;s "Sublease Form." You will remain responsible for the rent until a new tenant is found or until the lease term expires, whichever comes first. We cannot guarantee that other tenants will be found, as this obviously becomes increasingly difficult as the academic year progresses. Please note that you will also need to pay all management fees incurred during the reallocation of the contract. Please refer to the apartment&#x27;s sublease terms.

Accepted Answer

You can pay in 5 installments without the need for a guarantor.

Question 20

Could you please give me the address? I want to send a package there.

Accepted Answer

Do you want to send your packages there before you move in? I can ask the apartment if they can temporarily accept packages for you, but I don&#x27;t recommend sending them in advance as they might get lost. If possible, it&#x27;s best to send them after you move in.

If we switch to a different card for payment later, there&#x27;s no need to worry; you can change the card at any time.

Watching videos, checking information, and other daily activities are sufficient. If you have a need for gaming, you can also purchase an additional speed package.

Question 28

What is included in the maintenance scope?

Accepted Answer

If it is natural wear and tear, such as problems with appliances in the room or needing to replace light bulbs, these can be covered by the apartment warranty. However, if it is damage caused by human actions, like flooding the room, it will need to be repaired by yourself.

Question 29

Is there a lack of heating?

Accepted Answer

Heating issues are a common problem in UK student accommodations. Unlike in China, where heating allows you to wear short sleeves indoors, the temperature here is usually not too high, but it doesn&#x27;t get extremely cold either. Everyone perceives temperature differently. Students who are more sensitive to the cold can buy a thicker duvet or ask the front desk if they can get a small portable heater.
