Frequently asked questions
Properties are advertised around 9-10 months in advance of the next academic year starting.
This is because student properties are always in really high demand, so it’s important to register with a lettings agent early on.
Current tenants are given the opportunity to renew their tenancies before the properties are marketed to the wider public.

Collecting the keys to your new home can be done in three simple steps.
Step one
Ensure all paperwork is completed, including all signatures and IDs. After paying your holding deposit, you’ll need to complete all application forms within 24 hours. You’ll then have three weeks to complete the remaining paperwork and ID checks, or the property may go back on the market.
Step two
Make your first rent payment at least 10 days before your tenancy starts, by telephone or bank transfer. Applicants are provided a payment schedule at the point of signing up – we recommend you set up a Standing Order to pay your rent automatically.
Step three
Your Property Supervisor will arrange an appointment for you to collect your keys.
If you're a student, or you aren’t in full-time employment, it’s very likely that a landlord will expect each tenant to provide a guarantor for the tenancy. This can be avoided if you chose to pay the rent for the full year up front. A guarantor signs an agreement which says that they will pay the rent if you don't.
All our tenancy agreements are on a joint and severally liable basis – this means that all tenants and guarantors are jointly liable for the full rental amount and condition of the full property.
This is not something that can be changed, so applicants should make sure their guarantors are aware of this before paying their holding deposit.
A Lead Tenant is an appointed person who will act as the primary point of contact for their tenancy.
It's really important to familiarise yourself with who your Lead Tenant is, as a large amount of communication will be sent to them on behalf of the household.
During your tenancy, all rent payments will be due from one single bank account - we would normally expect this to be that of your Lead Tenant.
Some of our properties are “tenant find” which means we find tenants for a landlord and everything else once the tenancy commences is the landlord’s responsibilities.
Otherwise, Seekers would manage things on behalf of your landlord, such as property maintenance and your rental payments.
It’s worth noting that any maintenance work would need to be authorised by your landlord regardless of it being tenant find or managed.
