Signing a student tenancy agreement for the first time? Don’t stress – we’re here to help. Whether you’re moving into our Bronze rooms or going all out with a Gold ensuite, understanding your student tenancy agreement is important for your peace of mind (and your budget!).
At Orlando Village, we don’t just give you a place to stay – we’ve got your back through the whole process. No question is too small, and our friendly team is always happy to chat things through. Let’s break down what you’re actually signing – and why it matters.
What is a student tenancy agreement?
A student tenancy agreement is a legal contract between you and us – your accommodation provider. It outlines things like:
-
How long you’ll live with us
-
How much your rent is (and when it’s due)
-
What you’re responsible for (like keeping your kitchen clean)
-
What we’re responsible for (like fixing things when they break)
Once you sign, it’s legally binding – so both sides need to stick to it. But don’t worry: we explain everything clearly, and we’re always on hand if you’re unsure.

Guarantors, upfront payments, and Housing Hand
Most students will need a UK-based guarantor – usually a parent or guardian – who agrees to cover your rent if you can’t.
💡 Don’t have one? No stress. We work in partnership with Housing Hand, a trusted UK guarantor service that supports students without a family guarantor. Whether you’re from the UK or abroad, they can help cover your tenancy and make the process super smooth.
