How it Works

What to Expect

Day Management Services currently manages over 100 student houses, to accommodate groups of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, details of which follow, together with a map. We try to offer the best possible facilities in our student accommodation and endeavour to ensure that they are furnished to a good, clean standard. Electrical appliances and wiring are checked annually. Gas appliances and boilers are checked and serviced annually and tenants are issued with copies of the Safety Certificates. All properties are equipped with a fire blanket and smoke alarms. Lounge suites, beds and any other upholstered furniture carry a valid label stating that the item is fire resistant in accordance with Government regulations.

With a few exceptions, all our houses contain the following:-

  • Each bedroom has a single bed, bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookshelves, desk and chair. You only need to bring bed linen and a pillow
  • Communal living room
  • Automatic washing machine
  • Microwave
  • Central heating
  • Wireless Router

Maintenance Service

We offer a full support service and endeavour to sort out any maintenance problems as quickly as possible. During the initial period of the tenancy cleaning and maintenance work will be carried out on the properties. Because of the quick changeover of tenants and the fact that some houses need more work than others we do not guarantee that your house will be in pristine condition with everything in working order when you move in. However, we do guarantee that all necessary repairs will be carried out as quickly as our workmen, who will all be working flat out, can attend to them. You will not be able to move in during the first week i.e. if your lease starts on 9th June, you will not be able to collect your keys until 16th June. Houses are checked and cleaned during this period and they need to be empty for this.

During the initial two months of your tenancy when work is possibly being done at the house, you must bear in mind that workmen will be coming and going.. They will be busy and will not always be able to give you prior notice of their visits, so you will have to be prepared to put up with this. They will, however, always knock before going in and will not call at anti-social hours. Houses are also routinely checked every three months for possible problems and you will receive notice of this in writing. Grass is cut monthly in summer and weeding and tidying attended to when necessary. We are an agent fully recognised and accredited by Canterbury City Council.

At any time during your stay, it you notice anything requiring our attention, please contact us as soon as possible so we can respond quickly before the situation deteriorates.In the event of an emergency needing a call-out we have an out of hours contact number on our office answering service.
