UUK Code

The Student Accommodation Code has been designed to protect your rights to safe, good quality university accommodation, wherever you are studying, and to make sure you get the best out of your time living in university or college residences. It outlines everything you should expect from your university-managed accommodation as well as your responsibilities as tenants. 



Not all university residences are covered by The Code – to find out which buildings are covered, please click here.

The Code protects your rights to:

• A healthy, safe environment
• Timely repairs and maintenance
• A clean, pleasant living environment
• A formal, contractual relationship with your landlord
• Access to health and wellbeing services
• A living environment free from anti-social behaviour
