Room Retaining Payment

A room retaining fee of £6 per night will be paid when your student is away for 4 nights or more but continues to occupy the room with belongings. It is not payable if the room is emptied of all personal belongings.

Please note

• All payments, including room-retaining fees are calculated to the night, so if a student stays for 13 nights, you will be paid for 13 nights and not 2 weeks.

• An extra £30 per week will be paid for students who request a halal, vegan, coeliac or lactose-free diet
