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.
Most accommodations require a £200 deposit at the point of booking your room.
Your £200 deposit helps to secure your room, but if you decide to cancel your booking for any reason then we will send it back to you within 28 days.
When you move in, your deposit is used to cover any damage to the flat during the time that you live there. That's why it's really important to fill out an arrival inspection form when you move in to make sure you don't get charged for anything you didn't do.
Which sites don't require a deposit?
Broadcasting Tower doesn't require a deposit, however you still pay £200 when you book your room and this goes towards your first rent payment. At Mill Street there is no deposit requirement.
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, Kirkstall Brewery, 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: Broadcasting Tower (Unite Students), Hepworth Lodge (Unite), The Plaza (Unite), Mill Street (Unipol)
Your accommodation
For Marsden House, Arena Village and Carnegie Village, rent instalments will be made by direct debit in October 2022 (40%), January 2022 (30%) and April 2023 (30%).
For Mill Street, 40% of the rent is required to coincide with your contract start date. Two further payments of 30% each are required by standing order in January 2023 and April 2023.
The rent includes insurance of the property and of your personal belongings (terms apply), repairs (other than for damage caused by you), lighting and water (energy charges are not included in all rents, more details can be found below).

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