STUDENTS STAY & STORE
Secure your Quintain Living apartment over the summer break at a reduced rate* with our student Stay & Store offer. Current student residents can pay reduced rate from June to September without moving out or paying for additional storage, so your apartment and belongings stay exactly as they and fully secure are while you are away. This is ideal if you are travelling home or spending the summer elsewhere, letting you simply lock your door and return to your London base in September with everything just as you left it, ready for the new academic year.
*Applies June to September
Why Stay & Store this summer?
Enjoy significant savings and a seamless process as you head into the following academic year with our Stay & Store offer.
Pay a lower monthly rate throughout the summer, with no need to move your things into a storage unit elsewhere. Simply pay a Storage Licence fee for the period you’re away, with rates starting at just £250/per month for a studio or one bed apartment.*
Your belongings will stay secure in your apartment, ready for you to return in the autumn. We’ll arrange for your new Tenancy Agreement to start when you’re ready to return in the autumn (please note the Student Stay & Store period runs from 16 June to 15 September).
Start by submitting an enquiry and giving us your details. We’ll then be in touch to organise your Storage Licence Agreement and your new Tenancy Agreement for when you return to your apartment for the new academic year.
