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:

• Hand in your notice: You must give a minimum of 2 months’ notice on your current tenancy
• Sign a Storage Licence Agreement: Covering the terms of your reduced rent for the Student Summer Stay & Store period
• Complete the application process for the new tenancy: Including confirming acceptance of your quote via email, making any payments related to your new tenancy (e.g. reservation payment, rent and deposit), and signing your new Tenancy Agreement
• Complete the standard end-of-tenancy process: Including a mandatory pre move out inspection and a final inventory on your last day. Once these are complete, please return your key fob to your building’s front desk. Your apartment will be cleaned after you vacate.

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 your current tenancy end date (agreed when you serve notice). 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.
• New 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 our standard Cleaning and Maintenance Refresh 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 pre–move-out 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.
