7.1: All halls licenses are granted on the basis that you are a registered student with the required enrolment status at the University and that the room will be occupied by you only. We may end your License at any time for reasons outlined in section 12.
7.2: You must not smoke (including e-cigarettes or vapes), or permit any of your guests to smoke, anywhere within the accommodation. All halls rooms are non-smoking, and smoking is only permitted in designated outside smoking areas. Any smoking paraphernalia (including ashtrays) within your room may be interpreted by the University as evidence of smoking within your room.
7.3: All accommodation is allocated on a mixed sex/gender basis, with the exception of a limited number of single-sex flats. If you are residing in a single-sex flat, please be aware that halls staff, guests, and contractor/maintenance staff of the opposite sex are permitted to visit the flat.
7.4: Subletting or allowing someone other than you to occupy a room is strictly forbidden. We may interpret a frequent guest or someone else who has possession of your room key as potential subletting and reserve the right to request identification verification.
7.5: Pets are not allowed. The only circumstances in which animals may be allowed in Halls of Residence are assistance or emotional support/ therapy animals for disabled students or those with long-term health conditions which have been approved at least 28 days in advance of your License Start Date by the University. The University therefore reserves the right to refuse access to any animal at its discretion. Failure to obtain agreement under this procedure will result in a request for the immediate removal of the animal.
7.6: You cannot use the Accommodation for any business purpose or as the registered office of a company.
7.7: You must not damage or change the structure or decoration of the Accommodation. You will be charged for any damages at the full cost to the University (see Student Halls Guide Additional Charges). You must not change (add or remove) the furniture or decoration of the Accommodation.
7.8: You must keep your room keys safe and not give them to anyone else. If you lose your keys, the locks to the room and other parts of the flat will need to be replaced and new keys issued to residents in that flat. You will be charged for these costs (see Student Halls Guide Additional Charges)
7.9: If you watch or record television programmes in your own room or studio as they are being broadcast you must purchase your own TV Licence. This includes watching BBC "catch-up" TV services on electronic devices.
7.10: The University has arranged some contents insurance under an Endsleigh Insurance policy. The cover is not unlimited so it is important to find out exactly what you are covered for as you may need to extend cover to protect all of your possessions both inside and outside of your room. Review policy number HH1217 at www.endsleigh.co.uk/reviewcover. You are responsible for the insurance and safe keeping of your personal property. We are not liable for any loss/damage whatsoever to such property (except to the extent that any such loss or damage is caused by our negligence).
7.11: You are responsible for keeping your room or studio clean and collectively responsible with other residents in the flat for the cleaning of the communal areas, such as the kitchen. If you do not keep your room or studio and flat clean we will implement additional cleaning and you may be charged (see Student Halls Guide Additional Charges).
7.12: You must not bring bicycles into the residences, including electric bicycles or electric scooters. These must be stored in the external bicycle sheds.
