  • Holding Deposit

    • Holding Deposit

    On making your booking with CRM Students you will be asked to pay a Holding Deposit. Payment of the Holding Deposit constitutes your acceptance that the Holding Deposit is retained to secure your room in accordance with these terms and conditions. You agree by us holding a deposit that the deadline to conclude the Tenancy Agreement following the receipt of the Holding Deposit fee shall be 14 days thereafter, or any other period agreed by us (the "deadline"). By entering into the Tenancy Agreement your Holding Deposit converts to your refundable Security Deposit. If your tenancy agreement is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) in England or an Occupational Lease in Wales, it will be protected in an independent government approved tenancy deposit protection scheme, such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Unless otherwise stated on the site’s web page, your Security Deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your tenancy if there are no outstanding arrears or damage to your room and/or communal areas. By paying your Holding Deposit, you give us express consent to use the details provided by you to undertake searches against sanction lists maintained by the government of the United Kingdom, United States, and other countries we choose including those maintained by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This will not affect your rights and/ or our obligations to you under the Data Protection Act 2018. You have the right to ask us to not undertake such searches, but in doing so we will not be able to progress your application. CRM Students will make relevant checks to confirm your place at university and will then make you an Offer of Accommodation where you will receive your online Tenancy Agreement via the Student Portal. The Tenancy Agreement sets out the full terms and conditions under which you agree to rent a room with the Landlord, your guarantor, and CRM Students Limited as Agent. You will need to log into your account, check your details, read your tenancy agreement, and sign the online contract before uploading relevant identification documentation. You will be asked to pay the full years rent up front unless you have a UK based guarantor. If you have a UK based guarantor, you can pay your rent in 3 or 4 instalments. The first instalment needs to be paid 5 weeks before your contract starts. You will not be able to move into the property if this has not been paid. The second rent instalment is due in September, the third in January and the final one in April. If for any reason we are not able to make you an Offer of Accommodation, we will contact you as soon as possible detailing reasons why or with an alternative solution. If we cannot offer an alternative or the alternative is not suitable, we will refund your Holding Deposit in full via the original method the payment was made

Frequently Asked Questions

I am 16, can I still book an accommodation with CRM?

Yes, you can only if you are booking in Scotland where the legal age is 16 but in other countries we only accept bookings from individuals over 18. Additionally we only accept students with full time education.

Can I get female only accommodation?

Yes, we do offer accommodations exclusively for women, but only with prior notice and subject to available rooms.

Why do you need a Guarantor?

If you're planning to pay your rent in installments, we ask for a UK Guarantor. This adds security, ensuring rent is paid in full even if you can't make a payment.

What's involved in being a Guarantor?

By becoming a Guarantor, you're agreeing to cover the rent and vouch for the resident's behavior if they can't pay. Please only agree if you're comfortable taking on this responsibility.

I'm an International Student and don't have a UK Guarantor

No worries! Housing Hand specializes in assisting international students by acting as their UK Guarantor. Contact them directly for assistance

Do You Need a Guarantor?

Most landlords and letting agents require a UK-based guarantor. Without one, you may be asked to pay your full year's rent upfront. To help students navigate this, we've partnered with Housing Hand, which can provide a recognised certificate of rental guarantee, giving both you and your landlord peace of mind.

It's worth knowing that several of our student halls don't require a UK-based guarantor at all, allowing students to pay rent in convenient instalments instead. To find out which properties qualify and how to get started, reach out to our team. We're happy to guide you through the booking process from start to finish.
