1.Meet your neighbours - pop over and say hello or invite them round for a cup of tea. Get to know them BEFORE you throw a house warming party. Friendly neighbours can watch your house while you’re away and lend a potato peeler!

2. Check your inventory - your landlord should provide you with an inventory (if they don’t, make sure you write your own) so that you can both agree on the initial contents and state of the house!

3. Read your meters - if your gas and electricity bills are quarterly you’ll need to do this asap so you don’t risk getting charged for the previous tenants fuel use. Contact your gas and electricity providers (see contacts on back page) to give them the reading and ask them to put the names of all the tenants on the bill. Check your meter even if your bills are included!

4.Take date-stamped photos of every room - especially anything that’s not in good, clean condition. This means you’ll have evidence of what the house was like when you got the keys, which could save you trouble later.

5. Do you have the correct bins or have you ‘inherited’ rubbish? - sometimes students move into a new property with either the wrong refuse bins or no bins at all! New bins can be ordered by contacting the City Council on: 01392 665010. If your bins are already full of waste at the start of tenancy, it is important to ask your Landlord/agent to remove the material. Contact the Student Wardens on streetwise@ex.ac.uk for advice on challenging waste issues 6. Something wrong? - if it’s a dodgy doorknob or a window that won’t shut properly - inform your landlord IN WRITING

and keep a copy. List exactly what’s wrong and agree a

reasonable deadline for when it should be sorted.

7. Gas Safety Certificate - your landlord is legally obliged to make sure all the appliances in the house are safe. Check you’ve got a copy of this!

• Keep

valuables out of sight, away from windows or doors and never leave them on your car seat. Don’t advertise your valuables to the local burglar!

• Security-mark

your valuables. Write on your name and HOME postcode with a UV pen or ask your Community Warden for a mark-up pack. Alternatively consider using a forensic marking kit such as SelectaDNA or Smartwater.

The best way to stay safe at night is to stick with your friends. But if you are alone then here are a few tips: •D uring darkness you are safest in well-lit and busy areas. Avoid badly lit car parks, underground walkways and open areas.

• Cover

up expensive-looking jewellery, mobile phones, keys, cash and cards.

•G et a taxi - save some cash for the end of the night so you can be brought straight home - it’s much safer.

Please be aware that official taxis will display a green or yellow license number.

• I f you find yourself in trouble the best form of defence is to get away and head towards busier areas.

• I f you are trapped bring attention to yourself and make as much noise as possible by shouting.

Lack of planning would are NEVER a good idea in a mixed residen ngs gatheri ned’ ‘unplan or ’ ‘Ad-hoc noise. go wrong. that might be made by the University if things be factored into any disciplinary decisions

1. Consult your neighbours.

Don’t just ‘tell’ your neigbours you are having a party, talk with them in advance, and give good notice. If you cannot speak a with neighbours living around you, write short letter 3 4 days before. Describe when them your party will start and finish and give the number of someone to contact if they have any problems with your plans. If your neighbour has your number they are much more likely to come to you if there is a problem rather than the Police.

2. Bad vibrations.

A booming bass on your sound system really can travel further than you think.

Keep things sweet with your neighbours by moving all TVs, speakers and sound g systems away from the walls and lowerin the bass level.

3 Keep it inside.

Keep it inside and close the windows and doors. It can make all the difference.

4. Party at the weekend.

There’ll be more people free to come, fewer complaints and less sleep deprivation all round. Remember those who have to get up early for work and friends who may have essay deadlines or exams. Remember partying on a Sunday night is NOT the weekend.

5. DJ’s and Speaker Hire

In the vast majority of instances DJ’s and speaker systems are not appropriate for domestic parties and could lead to council conviction. The more neigbours that complain about excessive noise the more likely the prospect of conviction. Almost all of the University’s disciplinaries for excessive parties last year involved DJ’s or sound equipment.

6. Watch out for gatecrashers

As far as landlords are concerned, you’ve rented the house so you are the ones who’ll be held responsible if anything gets g damaged. Advertising your party by hangin signs out of windows and inviting all of Facebook increases the chances of attracting random guests who don’t care ly about you or your house and they definite won’t be around to help clear up.

7. It is not just students who make a noise!

The council can dish out Noise Abatement Notices, fines and even prosecutions to combat unruly noise from any resident!

If you are being troubled by excessive noise you can call 01392 265147 for advice.

If you have the week’s shopping to carry, or want to avoid the rain catch one of the regular buses which run from the city centre to the Streatham and St Luke’s campuses. The Universityfunded D bus service runs from morning until late at night every 15 minutes from Monday to Saturday and every 30 minutes on Sundays.

You can purchase a discounted Unirider season ticket online at www.buymyunirider.com or check out www.exeter.ac.uk/sustainability/travel/ buscoach for more information. ed

Choosing to travel around on foot or by bike is a great way of keeping active and enjoying the health and wellbeing benefits that physical activity brings. It also saves money and helps to reduce local congestion and air quality issues.

Get Active

Party Letter Template Students sometimes get into trouble for not consulting properly with neighbours before a party or gathering.

We have produced a party letter template below for you to copy and use.

Before you use the template we suggest that you: 1. Consult with your neighbours face to face before you deliver the letter (the letter is really only confirming what you have agreed in advance).

2. Read the ‘party top tips’ in the parties and noise section.

3. Remember to stick to what you’ve set out in the letter. A letter is a good first step, but you could still get prosecuted if your party is too large, loud or out of control.

Dear Neigh

bours,

w but the s far away no em se it ow We kn be time to and it’ll soon year will fly by are some e use again. Her leave your ho fore… be d e who’ve fle hints from thos

1. Change your address 2-3 weeks before the move so you don’t miss out on any essential post. You could have your mail re-directed, you could also leave the next residents your new address so they could forward anything you’ve forgotten to change.

2. Unsubscribe the gas, electricity, water, phone etc, otherwise

they’ll keep charging you. Try to call them as soon as you know your moving out date and take meter readings on the day you leave.

3. Check the photos from when you moved in to ensure that everything is still in order. This includes going through the house inventory.

4. Too much stuff? Old pots and pans you don’t need? There are collection points in University managed accommodation at the end of the year. Alternatively, take your items to one of Exeter’s many charity shops

5. Good clean fun! Book a day with all your housemates to clean up before you move. Leaving it all for the last person is not what you want to do! But remember - at the end of term use your ‘Students on the Move’ stickers to make sure that you don’t get fined for putting your rubbish out after collection. Email streetwise@exeter.

ac.uk to place an order. If you missed the last bin day or want other advice go to www.exeter.gov.uk/recycling.

6. Speak to the landlord to set up an inspection date when you are still around to inspect the house together.

7. If there are any problems involving the return of your deposit or additional charges from your landlord/agent, contact the Students’ Guild Advice Unit for info.
