BE A TOP TENANT! Once you have moved in, there are lots of things you can do to help get your tenancy off to a great start and to ensure that things run smoothly for the length of time that you are living there. Ÿ Keep an open dialogue with your accommodation provider and report any property disrepair or damage to them straight away. Ÿ Follow any procedures or policies that your accommodation provider has put in place such as collecting/returning keys. If you are unsure, ask them. Ÿ Make sure you dispose of your rubbish correctly and find out when your bin collections are to avoid attracting vermin. Ÿ Look out for your fellow housemates and check in on them. Ÿ Introduce yourself to your neighbours - getting to know those around you is great for creating a positive sense of community. Ÿ Attending community meetings gives you the opportunity to give your views about your neighbourhood. Your university and students’ unions also go along. Ÿ Park within local parking restrictions. Ÿ Be considerate and avoid antisocial behaviour. 10
