Student Summer Stay & Store

The Student Summer Stay & Store offer is open to residents who are in Higher Education that plan to return for the next academic year and want to store their belongings safely in their apartment over the summer. All residents living in the apartment must agree to take part to be eligible.

Submit an enquiry to begin the process, and our Leasing team will be in touch to get things started.

Your current tenancy will end before the Student Summer Stay & Store period begins. Before it ends, you’ll need to complete the following steps:

• Sign a Storage Licence Agreement: Covering the terms of your reduced rent for the Student Summer Stay & Store programme
• Get set for your return: Confirm your move out and return dates, make any payments related to your return tenancy, and sign your Tenancy Agreement
• Prepare your home for the summer: A pre move out inspection and inventory will take place on your last day. Once done, simply drop your key fob at the front desk and enjoy your time away!

The following monthly charges apply per apartment:

• Studio/1 Bed: £250 p/month
• 2 Bed: £500 p/month
• 3 Bed: £750 p/month
• 4 Bed: £1,000 p/month

The Student Summer Stay & Store runs from 16 June to 15 September 2026. You can start anytime within this window, but a minimum term of 1 month applies and you must return to your apartment on or before 15 September.

Yes. The following payments must all be completed before you move out for the summer. Payment links for each will be sent to you by email at the relevant stage:

• Your reduced rent for the Student Summer Stay & Store: Calculated pro-rata for the duration of your Student Summer Stay & Store period. A payment link will be sent by email once you have confirmed in writing that you want to proceed.
• Return tenancy payments: Such as your rent and deposit.* Payment links will be sent by email once you have signed your Storage Licence Agreement and paid the above. Please also note that your current tenancy deposit will be returned after your tenancy end date, subject to any deductions for damage or other charges.

*Your new deposit will be the same amount as your current tenancy

As your belongings will remain in your apartment during the Student Summer Stay & Store period, we ask that you leave it to a good standard of cleanliness before you go. This will allow our team to carry out an inspection without disturbing your belongings while you’re away (see "Is there a cleaning fee?" below).

Before you leave, please ensure the following has been completed:

• Bathrooms fully emptied, except for items in the vanity unit
• Dishwashers, sinks, and laundry appliances emptied
• All perishable items removed from the kitchen, including the fridge and freezer

To help you prepare, our Maintenance team will conduct 2 inspections, 1 scheduled 2 weeks before your departure and another on the day you leave, where we will run through the checklist above with you.

No. Before you leave, please make sure your apartment is clean and left in a safe and secure condition for your time away.

We’ll carry out an inspection on your day of departure. If we identify any damage that needs to be addressed, we’ll let you know and any associated costs may be deducted from your deposit.

Please note that cleaning the apartment is your responsibility before you go.

No, Quintain Living will cover utilities and Council Tax on your behalf for the duration of your Storage Licence Agreement.

No, you cannot occupy your apartment at all during this period. You may only access the apartment for storage purpose, and we would need at least 24 hours’ notice and approval from the Resident team, in order to arrange access for you to deposit or retrieve items.

If you would like to return early to the apartment, for instance if you need to occupy it before the agreed date, we can agree to change the date of your return tenancy. Please remember the rent will be due, and all the occupiers need to agree the earlier start date, even if they will not be occupying on the earlier date. This applies to anyone named on the Tenancy Agreement and does not require every household member to return.

The period runs between 16 June to 15 September. A minimum period of 1 month applies, but you can speak to your Resident team if you wish to discuss a shorter timeframe and returning earlier.
