Type of Lease
Signing the Lease
After receiving your deposit, we will draw up a lease for the dates indicated on the Home Page . We will need to enter your 'home address' which will normally be your parents' address.
The Duration of the Lease
The lease will cover a 12 month period. You will be responsible for paying the rent for every month of that 12 month period. Therefore our rooms are only suitable for students on 12-month courses who can and will be in Edinburgh during this period. Make sure you are happy about this before entering into an agreement with us.
Receiving and Signing the Lease
We will send you two copies of the lease in your name to your address, either in Britain or abroad. We will send with this an 'AT5 form', which is a legal document regarding tenancies. You will be asked to sign these and return one copy to us.
The lease is a 'Short Assured Tenancy', as issued by Edinburgh City Council for houses in multiple occupation. It has been checked and approved by them as part of the HMO licensing procedures. It is a joint lease with all the tenants in the flat. This is standard practice, and is legally binding over the period of the lease.

Parental Guarantee
These are required from a responsible parent or guardian for each tenant. A form will be sent out to you, together with the lease, for them to sign and return.
