Deposits (if applicable)

A deposit is payable in order to secure your booking. Deposits are to be held as security against any resident leaving the property owing rent, or to pay for any damages caused to property or chattels during the course of the Tenancy Period. It is essential that all residents complete the Check-In Inspection Record as soon as they move into their room, this serves to protect them against damages that may have been caused by the previous resident. The Check-In Inspection Record will be provided to all students by the Hospitality Team as part of the Student Check In Pack.

All deposits are protected by the Deposit Protection Service and will be returned within 28 days of the Tenancy Period ending, less any charges levied for damage to the property or rent outstanding. To ensure that mutual agreement can be reached the tenant should ensure that he/she arranges a room/flat inspection before departure in conjunction with the HospitalityTeam. Should a student disagree with any charges, they should raise the issue in writing to the Hospitality Manager within 10 days of receiving notice of charges. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached on level of charges, TDS will offer an arbitration service.

Payment plans/guarantors

As per the terms set out in the AST, all rent monies are due at set dates throughout the year. Mansion Student offers an option to make a single payment, alternatively students can pay three payments throughout the year which are timed to approximately coincide with student loan dates, or students are able to pay by monthly direct debit.

Students will be required to set up direct debits at the time they sign their tenancy agreement.  

Student staggered payment options are only available to residents who are able to provide a UK based Guarantor. This pesron must be a permanent resident of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, willing to act as Guarantor in the event of non–payment of rent or damage and be able to provide proof of residence in the form of a council tax bill or utility bill which is no more than three months old.

Can I pay my rent with my student loan?

Yes, you can use your student loan to pay your rent.

What happens if I am due to receive my student loan after the date my rent is due?

You can apply to Mansion Student to defer the payment of your rent strictly on the proviso that you provide us with a copy of the letter from the Student Loan Company. This should clearly detail the amount of loan you will receive and the date on which you are expected to receive it. We cannot allow you to defer payment of rent without this supporting information and you will be required to make alternative arrangements to pay.

Please note: Our check-in is not 24-hours and you should always check with your Hospitality Team prior to your arrival to ensure that you can gain access to your accommodation.
