YOU TITLE. AND YOUR COMMUNITY
SECTION TWO: YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY 10 YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE HERE WHILST WORKING TO COMPLETE YOUR STUDIES. It s great fun living at Magenta House, and we get that socialising is a significant part of the student experience. Whilst we don t want to bombard you with an endless list of house rules and regulations, we want to be sure you live in a clean, safe and enjoyable environment. It s all common sense stuff, but we know how important studies are to everyone. So, here are a few things to think about. YOUR COMMUNITY Respect property that belongs to Magenta House. It s a real shame when one person ruins it for everyone else. If you have friends over, make sure you accompany them whilst onsite and let them in/ out with your key/fob. NOTE: We will not open the gates for visitors unless you are present. Whilst we love you having friends over, we ask that they treat Magenta House with as much respect as you. Guest misbehaviour will be your responsibility. ACCIDENTS Accidents do happen and there are times when things can t be helped, but intentional damage to Magenta House property will result in a fine, or in extreme cases, eviction. UNDERSTANDING We ask you to be respectful and considerate to other people within your living space. This diverse mix of age, background and culture is what makes university life so great. NOISE Please be respectful when playing music and having fun with friends. Whilst you might not have an early start, your neighbour could. We ask that you keep noise to a minimum between 10:00pm 8:00am. CLEAN AND TIDY Keeping your room and communal areas clean and tidy ensures that you live in safe and hygienic conditions. We know it s tough when living with others, so we ve put a cleaning rota in your kitchen, should you need to use it. Damage to communal areas will result in equal charges if no one accepts responsibility. If your room isn t cleaned up to scratch at the end of each term, you will be charged for the cleaning. *Charges are listed in the back of your guide.
SECTION TWO: YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY 11 BEING GREEN AND ENERGY EFFICIENT BINS Make sure you empty your bin regularly and that you put your rubbish in the correct bin. Please ensure that all rubbish is taken to the bin store. We operate a very simple recycling system in all of our kitchens. Please familiarise yourself with this and stick to it in an effort to keep our planet green. BIN LOCATIONS In the Courtyard between A Block and B Block. THE GREEN WAY Being green is important to us. Here s what we re doing to be eco-friendly: 1. LIGHT SENSORS are installed in all public areas, including flat corridors and kitchen 2. ENERGY EFFICIENT BULBS are fitted in the main lights throughout the building 3. DOUBLE GLAZING in all of the halls 4. HEATER TIMES limit the operation time of the electric heaters 5. A GRADE APPLIANCES, including refrigerators/freezers and ovens Here s how you can be an eco-warrior, too: 1. TURN OFF LIGHTS AND APPLIANCES when you go out 2. SWITCH OFF TAPS and only boil as much water as you need 3. ALWAYS put lids on pans 4. USE your radiator thoughtfully 5. CLOSE THE WINDOWS when the heater is on 6. DON T WASH CLOTHES in the shower 7. UNPLUG electrical items from the outlets when you aren t using them 8. TURN OFF HEATERS before going out 9. KEEP DOORS CLOSED GENERAL SAFETY TIPS Our gates are all self-closing and can be accessed with your key fob Don t prop doors open (including fire doors) Always carry your keys and keep them safe. Never give your keys to anyone else Be aware of strangers on the premises. If you re not sure who someone is, ask them or alert the team Always lock your door when you re going out, and keep it closed at all other times - even if you re just nipping to the kitchen If you see anything suspicious, report it to the team as soon as possible If your room is at ground level, or easily accessible from the ground, make sure your windows are shut before you go out. Windows will only tilt outwards and should not be opened fully If you are worried about the safety of any equipment in your room or shared areas, contact the Magenta House Team: t: +44 (0)20 8635 5560 e: MagentaHouse@Prodigy-Living.co.uk OUT-OF-HOURS SECURITY If you need to report something, or if you need out-of-hours assistance you can contact the onsite security team on +44 (0)7775 887 989 FIRST AID If you have an accident at Magenta House, please report it to the team (after calling 999 if needed). The office keeps a first aid box, but it does not issue drugs of any description.
SECTION TWO: YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY 12 FIRE SAFETY HEAT AND SMOKE DETECTORS The kitchen and communal corridors are equipped with heat and smoke detectors. Your room is fitted with a smoke detector. FIRE PREVENTION AND ALARMS Now that you re sharing a living space with others, it s vital that you know how to prevent fire, and what to do if one happens. Please read the information below it outlines general fire prevention, fire alarms and the evacuation procedure. You are required to take part in fire drills. If the fire alarm sounds, you must evacuate the building and go to your designated assembly point on King s Court Alley in front of Starbucks. TIPS TO AVOID FALSE FIRE ALARMS Close fire doors. Most false alarms are caused by fire doors being left open when people are cooking or smoking. This is a massive inconvenience for everyone concerned (not least the fire brigade). *Please note. Magenta House is a non-smoking building. SMART ELECTRONICS DON T overload sockets SWITCH OFF and UNPLUG appliances when not in use FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS when using electrical items CHECK electrical appliances regularly for dangerous wiring, hot plugs or scorching on plugs or sockets TEST we recommend having a qualified electrician test your appliance CORRECT FUSE make sure electrical items are fitted with the correct fuse DON T try and force European or US plugs into UK electrical sockets. If you need an adaptor, come and see us! ONLY applicances with an EU CE Safety mark should be used - if in any doubt speak to the team at Reception FIRE EXITS AND EVACUATION KNOW YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE AND EQUIPMENT Make sure you know where the nearest fire exit is Read the fire notices dotted around the building Know where the evacuation point is and how to get there Only use fire-fighting equipment if you re trained and it is safe to do so. Do not put yourself in danger KEEP ACCESS TO FIRE EXITS CLEAR If you notice any obstructions to fire exits, please let Reception know Bikes must not be kept in your room or in the way of an escape route. Please keep bikes in the secure bike store KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE ALARM SOUNDS LEAVE the building immediately - don t stop to collect your things GET OUT as quickly as possible, and don t block escape routes MAKE your way to the evacuation assembly point DO NOT attempt to re-enter the building until it is deemed safe by a member of staff or the fire brigade DO NOT tamper with the fire safety equipment DO NOT put a sock over the smoke detector FIRE ALARM TEST Every Friday at 11:00am. Always keep fire doors closed
SECTION TWO: YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY 13 COOKING Whilst we love the idea of you practicing for MasterChef, we want you to stay safe when cooking in your kitchen. Therefore, we ask the following: Don t leave cookers unattended when in use as this will cause a fire and can result in significant damage and puts you and other residents at risk Keep the grill clean (dirty pans will catch fire very easily) Your kitchen door is a fire door. Please ensure it is closed at all times (especially when cooking) Switch on the extractor fan when cooking Chip pans and deep fat fryers are not permitted and will be confiscated As part of our programme of enhancements, your kitchen either has been or may be fitted with an induction hob. This means you ll need to bring steel bottomed pans to prepare your meals as aluminium or copper saucepans don t work on induction hobs. Please note that induction hobs can interfere with Pacemakers. If you have any concerns about this, please contact reception.
TITLE. HOUSEKEEPING TIP! Always keep fire doors closed
SECTION THREE: HOUSEKEEPING 15 WE KNOW THAT CLEANING IS LIKELY TO BE LOW ON YOUR LIST OF PRIORITIES, BUT IT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR HEALTH. PLUS, IT DOESN T TAKE TOO LONG (AND AVOIDS ANY CHARGES). YOUR ROOM Your room is your sanctuary and we want to leave you to enjoy it. So it s up to you to keep it clean and report any maintenance problems. We ll help by carrying out termly inspections to make sure we pick up any issues you might have missed. Don t worry you will be given advanced warning! MAINTENANCE We have a full maintenance team onsite who will always try to sort out any issues as soon as they are reported. If you have any maintenance issues in your room or flat please contact Reception or report them on-line via your customer portal https://greystar. onlinesecuredaccommodation.com/student/ The cleaning rota is there to help you allocate tasks Charges could be raised if cleaning or maintenance issues are found during inspections. KEEP IT CLEAN DO NOT use abrasive cleaning products that can damage surfaces DO NOT use hair or clothes dye in your en suite or kitchen DO NOT put any pictures or posters on your walls please use the notice board provided. Damage to walls will incur a charge ROOM CHECKS To comply with health and safety regulations, your room will be checked intermittently. Don t worry you will be given advanced warning of room checks. If your room doesn t match up to the cleanliness and order levels expected, you will be given 24 hours to clean up, or we will arrange to clean it for you and pass on the costs. In some instances, we do have to prioritise repairs depending on their urgency; however, we aim to get all issues solved within 24 hours. WHAT S THE DAMAGE? Accidents do happen and there are times when things can t be helped, but let us know and we can get things fixed as soon as possible. Intentional damage to Magenta House property will result in a charge, certain cases may be deemed in breach of tenancy terms and conditions. Damage to communal areas will result in equal charges if no one accepts responsibility. A full list of charges can be found at the back of this guide. Please note that the charges quoted are estimates and may be subject to yearly increase.
A HAPPY AND HEALTHY YOU
SECTION FOUR: A HAPPY AND HEALTHY YOU 17 STUDENT LIFE ISN T ALWAYS WITHOUT CHALLENGES. LEAVING HOME, LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF, MAKING NEW FRIENDS, HITTING COURSE DEADLINES THEY CAN ALL TAKE THEIR TOLL. WE RE HERE TO HELP YOU. The most important part of our community is you. Whilst university life can be incredible, it doesn t always go as planned. DON T keep things to yourself. REMEMBER: Your university provides support and advice on various issues (financial, relationship, course problems, etc.), as well as a dedicated service for students with disabilities. You are always welcome to talk to us at Reception. Alternatively, Student Support is there to help. Below, you will find useful hints, tips and telephone numbers. PROBLEMS WITH A FLAT MATE If you re unhappy about the behaviour of another resident, please come and speak to us. If you don t feel comfortable speaking to us directly, please write down your concerns and email MagentaHouse@Prodigy-Living.co.uk FEELING UNWELL If you are feeling unwell, you can get an appointment with the doctor or nurse at your university s health centre. Please only call the emergency services when it is life-threatening. Usually, you can get a same-day appointment, or at the latest, within the week. The most important thing is that you are happy and healthy, but we know that you can easily slip into less than healthy routines whilst studying. Make sure you register with the health centre when you arrive at university. Hopefully, you ll never need an appointment, but if you do, life is a lot easier if you re already registered Here are a few tips to help you stay on track: SOCIALISING Know your limits. Enjoy yourself, but make sure you relax and take it easy, too! TIRED Too much or too little sleep can run you down and prevent you from performing at your best. Try to get a full eight hours of sleep for at least a few nights a week UNIQUE Just because people are at university doesn t mean everyone s the same. Celebrate the different cultures and treat people with respect.
SECTION FOUR: A HAPPY AND HEALTHY YOU 18 DEBT It can be tough managing your finances whilst at university (and after) but we are here for you if you have any concerns about paying your rent. We release all payment dates when you get your tenancy agreement and ensure we keep you updated in advance. If our payment dates don t match your loan dates, we always try to reach a solution for you. We operate a strict arrears procedure, so do let us know as soon as possible if you re experiencing financial worries. EXERCISE It can be easy to eat, sleep, study, repeat whilst at university, but it s really important to ensure that you get regular exercise. You can achieve this by using our free onsite gym, joining a university or walking instead of taking public transportation/ driving. You ll be surprised at the difference it makes to your general wellbeing. NUTRITION As tempting as it may be to eat kebabs or pizza each night, a healthy, balanced diet is essential. Healthy food (especially fish) can feed brain power! TIPPLE Drinking can sometimes be a large part of university life, but we know it s not a part of everyone s life. Ensure that you drink responsibly and stay safe. REMEMBER: Not everyone drinks alcohol. Please respect those who don t. STUDIES Remember the reason you came to university to receive the best degree possible for you. We are here to support you through this.

SECTION SIX: MOVING OUT 22 WHETHER YOU RE LOOKING TO MOVE ROOMS OR MOVE OUT, HERE S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. We hope you enjoy your time at Magenta House and choose to stay here again. However, you may wish, for a variety of reasons, to move rooms or leave us. In all cases, you should discuss your situation with a member of the Magenta House team first. All moves within or outside of Magenta House during the tenancy period are at the management s discretion. MOVING OUT AT THE END OF YOUR TENANCY As a condition of your contract, you are required to book and attend a check-out inspection with the Magenta House team. If you don t attend the inspection, it will be very difficult for you to challenge the inspection and any charges for damage and disposal of refuse or any abandoned items.

On your last day, you must: Vacate your room by 10:00am Return all keys to Reception Make sure your room is clear of all of your possessions Make sure your room is clean before you leave (you ll be charged for cleaning if not!) * A full list of charges can be found at the back of your handbook.

There will be a 50 fee to cover administrative costs if you change rooms or a 150 administration fee to leave (depending on circumstances). MAIL REDIRECTION You don t want to miss out on important correspondence when you leave so don t forget to tell the people who regularly send you mail where you re moving to. Because we receive very large amounts of post we regret it s not possible to redirect this and it will be returned to the sender. REMOVAL OF BIKES When you check out, make sure your bike checks out with you. If you don t wish to take your bike, let us know and we can donate it to charity. Any bikes leftover will be disposed of.
