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! . Read your meters – if your gas and electricity bills are 3 quarterly you’ll need to do this asap so you don’t risk getting charged for the previous tenant’s fuel use. Contact your gas and electricity providers (see contents towards the end of the guide) 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! Check what you’re entitled to by looking at the refuse section of this guide. New bins can be ordered by contacting the City Council on: 01392 265010. 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 communitywardens@exeter.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! . Make sure to pay your TV license if you watch TV live on 8 any device or catch up programmes on iPlayer. Unsure if you need one? check: tvlicensing.co.uk

Recycling in Exeter

Your green bins or bo xes are always collected once a fortnight.

Make sure you put rec ycling loose in the bin s and don’t contaminate it with an ything that isn’t on the list – or you could be left with the whole lot for another two weeks!

GREY BINS

There are o ver 60 glass and textile bank sites in Exeter as w ell as 7 carton recy cling banks around the city. Most st udents find it simpler to recycle at th e same time that they go shopping: al l the big sup ermarkets have recycl ing points.

Find your n earest recycl ing sites: recycledevo n.org/map

(The stuff that can’t be recycled) When putting out the rubbish remember: • Check where and when your rubbish is collected either by talking to neighbours or by downloading the iExeter App and clicking on the bin icon.

• Bins or bags should only be put out after 6pm the evening before collections and before 6am on collection day. You could receive a fine if you put them out too early!

• Overfilled black bins (i.e. bin lid sticking up) and extra black bags of rubbish won’t be collected.

• Take your bin in after collection. Don’t leave it on the street – this is against the law and can be a real pain for pedestrians.

• Look after your bins because you can get charged for new ones.

Call 01392 265010 or visit exeter.gov.uk/domesticwaste for advice.

So take some simple precautions: •

Know your boundaries, do not drink excessively or engage in anti-social or abusive behavior when you’re out socialising.

•

Keep alert of your surrounding and stay together with friends when possible.

•

Never hesitate to call for help!

If something feels wrong, get yourself away to safety, shout loudly for help and call the police.

•

Keep your possessions on you and out of sight, do not leave valuable items alone and lock doors!

DID YOU KNOW many laptops and other valuables are stolen from study areas each year, if you want to keep your stuff, learn to keep it safe!

Opportunist thieves know student houses are prime targets, often with unlocked doors or students who are out or away!

Always lock your windows and doors! Sounds obvious but if you don’t then you’re more likely to be burgled and your insurance won’t cover you.

•

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 markup pack. Register your items for free at www.immobilise.com – so they can be traced back to you.

•

Don’t keep spare keys ‘hidden’ anywhere obvious! That includes the shed and garage as well as the disused flowerpot by the front door.

Insurance will often not cover if you don’t do the above!

SEXUAL CONSENT

includes the act of adding alcohol (not just other unwanted chemicals) to a drink.

University is a time for new experiences and fun, however when you or someone says no, then it means no.

Always remember:

• Consent is required by both parties or else it could be •

RAPE and you could find yourself in trouble or becoming a victim.

You should never feel scared, ashamed or worried to speak to the police. You can get advice and support from us at any time (see contents towards the end of the guide).

WALKING HOME The best way to stay safe at night is to stick with your friends. It happens rarely, but students have been attacked walking home alone.

Always remember:

• During 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.

• Get 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.

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

• If you are trapped bring attention to yourself and make as much noise as possible by shouting or screaming.

• CALL 999 as soon as it is possible to do so and never feel ashamed to report something.

PARTY* TOP TIPS

s or any gathering likely to generate noise.

Please note that the ‘party’ advice below also refers to pre-drinks, after-partie area. Lack of planning would be factored residential mixed a in idea good a NEVER are gatherings ’ ‘unplanned ‘Ad-hoc’ or wrong. go things if University the by made be might that decisions into any disciplinary

*

1.

Consult your neighbours Don’t just ‘tell’ your neigbours you are having a party, talk with them in advance, and good notice. If you cannot speak with neighbours living around you, write a short letter 3-4 days before. Describe when your party will start and finish and give them 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 systems away from the walls and lowering 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, even if they do offer you soundproofing.. Temporary soundproofing is unlikely to be sufficient to control noise and this could lead to complaints from neighbours.

The more neigbours that complain about excessive noise the more likely the prospect of conviction.

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 damaged… If gatecrashers enter your property and you have concerns, ring 999. Be aware that if you ‘ignore’ uninvited guests and they do something wrong/ illegal on your property, you could be liable.

7.

Use of Social Media and Event Organising Apps Take care, if you are organising a party via social media. Only include those people you really want to attend. If you are organizing a party large enough to require an event planning App the party is likely to be too big for a residential property so consider holding it at a professional venue.

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.

8.

9.

CAUTION Student sports clubs and societies! – if you hold an official club social (even pre-drinks) at a private address, you could get into serious trouble with the University or the council.

Larger socials are much more likely to trigger more complaints. If things go wrong – society members and ALL registered tenants will be called to a disciplinary. Holding your social in town (or an official on-campus space) will be less risky.

Bus

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 University-

funded 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 exeter.ac.uk/

sustainability/travel/buscoach for more information.

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 or leave the next residents your new address so they could forward post on.

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 and put furniture back in the right place 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 communitywardens@exeter.ac.uk to place an order. If you missed the last bin day or want other advice go to 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. RETURN YOUR PARKING PERMIT! – If you do not return your parking permit the next tenants for your address will not be able to apply for one. Please ensure that you liaise with your Landlord or letting agent about parking permit returns before you leave!
