Accommodation Terms of Occupancy Acceptance of the terms of occupancy (the 'Terms') will create a legally binding contract between you and Njoy Student Living.

Below is a list of some of the 'key' Terms. This list does not contain all of the Terms and reading it should not replace a careful review of the actual Terms.

Hot Water and Heating Hot water is available 24/7 in all our student accommodation. Manchester - the central heating at Langdale Hall, Langdale Courtyard & Carfax Court Flats is thermostatically controlled seasonally on-site. Naburn & Welby St have their own air sourced heat pumps. Leeds - there are convection heaters in each individual room and communal areas, which are controlled by a booster time switch. Meals All residents can cook their own meals within the kitchens provided. Storage is also provided in each kitchen for residents to store their belongings, food and beverages. We do not allow residents to bring into the halls large bags of rice larger than 1kg, or rice cookers. This is part of our pest control procedure to keep the halls free from cockroaches and pests. Manchester - Langdale Hall & Langdale Courtyard - all kitchens are fitted with a coded lock of which only the people who belong to that kitchen will be given the codes to. We recommend you do not share this code with anybody else, as it will lower the chances of anything going missing from the kitchen. Cleaning From Mondays to Fridays, communal rooms, stairwells, corridors, kitchens and bathrooms (Manchester only) are cleaned at regular intervals. All residents should co-operate fully with the domestic staff. You are responsible for cleaning and tidying your own room/flat. For reasons of hygiene and the prevention of illness, it is essential that washing up is done promptly and that fridges, cookers and work surfaces are cleaned after use. Although staff are employed to clean communal areas including kitchens (Manchester only) it's unrealistic to expect them to maintain satisfactory standards on their own. Residents, therefore, must clean up after themselves. It's often a good idea to organise a rota of cleaning duties among those sharing a kitchen to ensure that everyone pulls their weight equally. Laundry Manchester - washing machines and tumble dryers are available for unlimited use at Langdale Hall (main building basement) Langdale Courtyard (c block basement) & Carfax Court (ground floor by the entrance) at a charge of £50 per student, during the duration of your tenancy.

You can purchase a Circuit card that you can top up, or simply download the Circuit app. Opening times are 9:00am - 5:00pm, Mon - Fri and 10:00am - 6:00pm, Sat - Sun.

Safety Policies Accommodation Security Njoy Student Living does not hold itself responsible for your personal property during your tenancy at any of our accommodation buildings in Manchester & Leeds. Thefts can occur, usually when doors are left open or unlocked (which may invalidate the insurance policy). In order to prevent trespass and theft, always lock your doors when leaving your room. Get into the habit of doing so even for short absences, such as going to the kitchen or bathroom. Do not wedge doors open. Never let anybody that you do not know personally into your room/accommodation. Your keys are your responsibility - Ensure you have them with you when you leave your room! Replacement keys will be charged accordingly. Forgetting your keys is not an excuse, and will be treated as requests for a replacement set. No refunds are given if you subsequently recover your previous keys. Do not lend your keys to anyone or leave them lying around in kitchens or communal areas. Avoid having your name/room number on your key ring in case they are lost or stolen. Please report lost keys to the Caretaker or Maintenance Manager. Fire Procedures Every resident should become familiar with the regulations regarding fire precautions and the procedures to be followed in the event of a fire alert. Safety Equipment Langdale Hall, Langdale Courtyard, Carfax Court and Carr Mills are equipped with fire alarms activated by panic buttons, heat detectors and smoke detectors. Never attempt to cook anything except in a kitchen and make sure that the kitchen door is closed when cooking, as the corridor smoke detectors are very sensitive.

Please ensure that smoke doors are kept closed, including the door to your study/bedroom. Do not remove door retaining springs or you will be charged for replacing them, should they go missing. Alarm Tests The fire alarm will be tested briefly every Thursday at 12:00 pm in Manchester and every Wednesday between 13.00-13.30pm in Leeds. If you hear the alarm at any other time you should immediately evacuate the building, attracting the attention of those in adjacent study/bedrooms. Leave by the fire exits or the main stairs. Assemble in the car park / grass verge away from the building in an orderly manner. General If you suspect that someone has not evacuated, inform the property team supervising the evacuation immediately. Any fire, however small, must be reported to office as soon as possible, so that damage can be assessed and fire safety appliances checked. If in doubt: EVACUATE! Every resident has a responsibility to understand the fire procedures within the building. It is there for your safety. The Halls are equipped with heat detectors and smoke detectors. Fumes from cooking, smoking, steam, dust and aerosols, can all activate the smoke detectors. It is important to keep kitchen and bedroom doors shut as these are fire doors. Please think about your actions. If the Fire Service is called when the system activates unnecessarily, it is a serious matter. The Fire Service will then be committed to dealing with a false call and will not be available to deal with real emergencies elsewhere in the area. The fire equipment is provided to save lives. If you misuse or interfere with any of the fire equipment it will result in disciplinary action. You may be expelled and/or charged with a criminal offence.

Your complaint will be investigated by a member of staff, and we will endeavour to provide a response within 7 days of receiving your complaint. If you do not believe that your complaint has been treated fairly and correctly you can escalate your complaint to Stage 2, however you must state why you do not think your complaint has been treated fairly.
