This will be sent to you in advance as it is legally binding and sets out the terms and conditions of your residency. Please read the contract thoroughly before signing it so that you are clear in what is expected of you and what you can expect from your landlord. The following, while not being exhaustive, is intended as an overview of some of the main points of a standard tenancy agreement – we have made some key point for you to consider: • The contract runs for either 48 or 52 weeks, including the Christmas and Easter breaks. Please do make sure you are clear on how many weeks you will be living in your chosen property. • Those who leave their accommodation before the end of the contracted period are still liable to pay rent until a replacement tenant has signed a contract for the room. • For example, if you withdraw or suspend your studies you will have to pay rent – unless someone else wants to move into your room and take on the tenancy. • Guests are not permitted to stay at the accommodation without the permission of the landlord. Requests must be put in writing with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice. Do please contact the warden at Parkside or Skylight directly if you want to have a guest to stay – this is so they know who is in the building in an emergency! • Tenants are responsible for ensuring their own room and communal areas are kept tidy and that rubbish and recycling are put out on the appropriate days. This is really important as your deposit may be affected! • Tenants will need to provide a guarantor when signing their contract, which will usually be their parent/guardian. • This is standard practice for all tenancy agreements – if you are struggling with a guarantor please do contact HEART. Parkside House When you join the Parkside community you will live, work, and play in a well-managed building designed to accommodate over 100 students with a secure keyless entry system throughout the building, CCTV, and a residential warden. The Parkside Dance Studio is in the building and there is an on-line booking system for residents to use the studio and the gym if they are not being used for teaching.
