How do I book a room?

Booking a room with us is easy.

Online – browse our website and choose the room that best suits you. Click on Book Now.

The full terms can be found here: https://livstudent.com/terms/

When we receive your booking we will call to confirm, and ensure all details are correct. 

Phone – If you prefer not to book online, get in touch by phone, text, WhatsApp or email. 

If you have any special requirements i.e. you’d like to live with friends, or would like to select a specific floor, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help.

Your booking will be confirmed over email with an accommodation agreement, powered by StuRents (TenancySign).

Can I review the accommodation agreement before booking a room?

Yes, of course! When you start an online booking, or when we invite you to book, you will create your accommodation agreement, which will include your preferred contact details. Only once you have reviewed the agreement will you be asked to complete it.

Do I have to be a student to live at LIV Student?

Yes. As our name says, students are our focus. All residents must be in full or part-time education.

Can I live with my friends?

Yes! Just give us a call, or while you’re making your booking let us know the name of your friends and we’ll do what we can to ensure you’re all living together.

We want to make sure all our residents share a space with like-minded people, so if you are booking as an individual with no special request to live with friends, wherever possible and availability allows we will allocate a room which is surrounded by residents studying at the same university and in the same year as you.

How do I pay my Rent and see my booking details?

Simply log into your secure online portal, found at the top of our website and follow the on screen instructions.

Do you offer shorter contracts?

Yes! We have a limited number of semester contracts. Give us a call or send us an enquiry so we can discuss and advise accordingly.

Do you offer rooms for disability?
We operate an EVERYONE IS WELCOME policy and our facilities cater to the needs of all. LIV Student’s sites are fully accessible and all areas of the site have disabled access and facilities. If you have any medical requirements or disabilities, please give us a call so we can place you in a room and arrange a living plan which suits your needs.
Do I need a guarantor?
We think it is best for you to have a guarantor in place when you are paying rent in instalments, just in case unforeseen circumstances arise which make it difficult for you to keep up with payments. We do accept International Guarantors applications. If you don’t have a Guarantor, you can choose to appoint Housing Hand as a guarantor during your booking. If you choose to pay your rent in full, then you do not need a guarantor.
When is rent due?

We offer a number of different payment plans, because we know everyone’s financial situation is different. You can pay in instalments or in full — whichever you prefer. Your tenancy agreement will show your payment dates and you can check your rent schedule by logging into your online portal. Contact us to discuss the best payment options for you.

I haven’t received my loan and cannot afford my rental instalments – what do I do?

Things happen; we get it. Your student loan may be delayed, or something else might interfere with your ability to pay your rent on time. But DON’T PANIC!

Call in at reception and let us know what has happened so we can help you. This might include changing your payment to a later date. Just keep us in the loop so we can help you.

How do deposits work?

All deposits if taken are kept safely, held in an independent and Government-authorised deposit protection scheme (UK/Sheffield only) ready to be returned to you at the end of your time with us. We’ll take back any charges for damage or necessary cleaning from your deposit at the end of your accommodation period, though, so be sure to treat your room and communal space with respect.

Due to all the uncertainty that Covid has brought to our lives since last year, we decided, as an accommodation provider, to offer our students the most fluid and flexible booking terms for so that accommodation is not just another stress to add to life! Exceptionally this year 2021.22, we are not charging a Security deposit in ROI (LIV Student Dublin) and our new residence in NI (LIV Student Belfast).

Can I have visitors?

Yes! We ask that you don’t have more than one guest if you are living in a shared apartment or Studio, for up to two consecutive nights per week and be a good neighbour to all LIV Student residents, respecting their space and quiet enjoyment.

 

We ask that you sign your visitor in at reception and sign out when they leave, to assist us in the event of a fire evacuation.
