To provide a high standard of private-sector furnished accommodation for students at the University wishing to live as a household. The scheme is also open to applications from post-graduates and occasionally to families depending on the availability of properties. We have approximately 120 properties currently on the scheme and within these can accommodate up to 500 students close to the various University sites.
Properties are generally of a high standard.
We offer accommodation at competitive rents. The University makes every effort to ensure that all properties meet safety regulations and requirements. Headed Tenancy acts as an independent body aiming to protect the rights of both the tenants and the landlord in all aspects of the tenancy, for example we will mediate between tenants and house owners regarding the maintenance of properties and negotiate on behalf of the tenants if an unreasonable claim is made against their deposits at the end of the agreement. How to Apply We accept applications from April each year for groups of between one and seven people all of whom must be in their second year or above. Those on post-graduate course who have not previously attended Kingston University are welcome to apply, however we will require a reference from a previous landlord and possibly your bank.
