When you first move into halls, we strongly recommend filling out an inventory within the first 48 hours so that:
- Anything missing from the room can be replaced.
- Any faults or damage can be logged and dealt with.
- You won’t be charged for items/faults at the end of your tenancy.
Throughout your time in halls, you may need to report maintenance faults, this can be anything from an accidental breakage to problems with plumbing or lights.
Please do not attempt to repair anything yourself. Anything that is damaged or not working should be reported through the correct fault reporting system.
Take a look below to find out what the process is in your hall. 👇
To report a fault, fill in a maintenance request form via the accommodation portal. For help reporting a fault, or to check on a repair, speak to the site team or visit reception. Repairs are prioritised by urgency and the date they were logged.
You'll receive an email within 48 hours of checking in with your inventory details. If anything doesn't look right, come and speak to the team at reception and we'll go through it with you — just make sure to do this within 72 hours, after which we'll assume the inventory is correct.
Reporting a repair
The easiest way to report a fault is through the MyUnite app:
- Tap Maintenance from the main menu
- Select In your flat or In your building
- Choose a more specific location
- Pick a category for what's affected
- Select the specific item that needs fixing
- Choose the exact fault from the list
- Add a description to help the engineer, then tap submit
Prefer to do it in person? Pop into reception and the team will arrange for an engineer to visit as soon as possible.
The team at Furzedown and Cedars will provide you with a copy of the inventory form when you check-in. You will then have three days to make any notes and return the form, which will be stored in the inventory folder that will be used in the team’s quarterly room inspections, and when they refund deposits at the end of the year.
If you need to report any breakages or problems with plumbing, lights, etc. you’ll need to go to the reception desk and speak to the team or email the team at furzedown@interland.co.uk for Furzedown Student Village or cedarhall@Interland.co.uk for Cedar Hall.
Fresh Student Living will provide you with an inventory form within your arrival pack at halls. Please make sure you complete your inventory within 48 hours of checking in. If your inventory is not completed, you are liable to be charged for any damages that were not noted at the beginning of your tenancy. *Highline is paper and Glassyard is online.
Please do not attempt to repair anything yourself. Anything that is damaged or not working should be reported through the correct fault reporting system.
