Tenants and Students Guide - Dundee Student Accommodation

Guide for student accommodation in Dundee

Finding a Rental Property for Students in Dundee

Your first steps are to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation, you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. We strong suggest booking your student accommodation quickly as most of our students take their accommodation until leaving University.

We will log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about 2 month before you wish to move, our properties are reserved very quickly. Our tenancies agreements are for a minimum term of 48 weeks. You can extend your lease over the summer.

Other Areas

If you are looking for a property to rent outside the Dundee Area, please contact us and we will help you find suitable accommodation elsewhere.

Viewings

Viewings are arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

Reserving the property

Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit’; usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However, you will lose your deposit, if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.

References

As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous or current property owner. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition, a credit check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.
