Rent, Waiting Period, Types of Accommodation

Rent, utilities and waiting periods

The rent (basic rent plus utilities) needs to cover all the costs of the accommodation. There are no subsidies to the day-to-day running of the halls of residence. The rent is withdrawn every month by means of direct debit from the account provided by the tenant. The estimated utility costs are withdrawn along with the rent each month as an advance payment; any differences between the amount paid for and actually used is settled after each calculation period.

Details on rent and waiting periods for the individual halls of residence can be found here.

The waiting period starts on the day you submit your application.

The stated waiting periods are based on average waiting times and are only meant to give you a rough idea of how long you will have to wait. As the waiting periods may change over time (they might also get longer), we recommend to regularly check the up-to-date waiting periods.

Please note that our halls of residence provide different types of accommodation. Not all of them are available in all of our halls. Before applying online, please have a look at our Halls Page or waiting periods to find out which types of accommodation are provided in which hall.
