Student Accommodation in Leicester
What options are there for contract length? Can I book summer accommodation as well for example?
Most contracts last for one academic year. If you would like to stay for a longer or a shorter time, contact us and our booking consultants will be able to give you information about which landlords are currently accepting stays of different lengths. If you’d like to stay in your accommodation over the summer as well, this can usually be arranged as many of the properties we list also accept bookings for summer accommodation.

Do I need to pay the rent prior I check in?
If not the lump sum, you must pay at least the first installment of your rent. So, you need to spend some amount otherwise you can’t move in. So, your first installment is like the security that makes the process transparent.
Can I pay my Leicester College St Margaret’s Campus student accommodation rent in instalments?
Yes, you can pay your rent in instalments. However, some providers may require you to have an UK guarantor. Refer back to your accommodation expert for further help on the matter.
