Your Contract Explained

Your contract sets out the legal terms and conditions of your licence.  Here are the main things you need to know about your licence agreement.

The offer of accommodation will be subject to you entering into a licence agreement on the provider's (University/Unipol/Unite Students) standard terms and conditions of residence.

If we make you an offer we will send you a link to these terms.

Please make sure you read the terms in full before accepting your offer of accommodation (we will remind you about this at the time), because once you have accepted our offer of accommodation you are legally bound to pay for the accommodation, and if you decide to leave the accommodation early you may not be entitled to a refund.

Full details of the terms and conditions relating to early termination of your licence agreement are set out in standard terms and conditions of residence. Make sure you read these before deciding to accept.

Your Booking Process

The booking process varies depending on which halls you intend to reside in, specifically whether you opt for University-provided accommodation or Externally-provided accommodation. Typically, you'll select and reserve your room, after which you'll receive communication to confirm your booking. Your booking becomes official once you've acknowledged and signed the terms and conditions of your licence agreement and made the necessary advance rent payment, if required.

Arena Village, Carnegie Village or Marsden House are University-provided accommodation.

Partnerships

For most sites, the university is the landlord and our partners (UPP, IQ Students and CLV) manage the day-to-day running of the sites. As part of this, we continue to manage your contract and also provide on-site pastoral care and support.

Sites: Arena Village, Carnegie Village, Marsden House

At other halls, we have a number of blocks allocated for Leeds Beckett students which you can book via our online application system. We manage your booking up until the contract is signed. The providers (Unipol or Unite Students) then become responsible for your contract and your welfare while you live in those halls.

Sites: Hepworth Lodge (Unite), The Plaza (Unite), The Tannery (Unite), Mill Street (Unipol)

Your Guarantor

Everyone is required to provide a Guarantor who will be responsible for paying your rent, if you fail to do so. So you know what's expected, you can find the full licence agreement for each site contract below.

Other accommodation information

Students are required to behave with respect for other residents and are subject to the student code of conduct which you can find in your halls handbook.

The university is committed to providing a vibrant, ethical and sustainable working and learning environment that values equality and diversity. 

With an offer of accommodation we will send you a link to a handbook, giving detailed information about your accommodation.
If you wish to leave before your licence expires, you will still have to pay the remaining rent. The licence is not transferable; but the university, Unite Students and Unipol will normally release you early from your licence agreement if a suitable replacement student tenant can be found to take your place. Full details of cancellation conditions and charges are given in the standard terms and conditions of residence that will be sent out to you when we make you an offer.

When you book your room, you choose the room and the flat you'd like to stay in.

You can also share and view information about other students in the flat. This is to help you and other applicants to choose a suitable room and flatmates for them. If you'd like to, you are able to share your gender, age, course and a screen name as well as a small description about yourself to help get a good match with your flatmates.
