FAQs

Need some help?

We think we’ve covered most things here, but if you have a question we haven’t answered, email us at hello@iqstudent.com

When are my rent instalments due?

We spread rent across the year to help with budgeting. Most residents pay in four instalments - on 1st August, late September, mid‑January and mid‑April.

If you’re staying at an iQ building in Scotland, you can choose to pay monthly. These payments are on 1st August and then on the 7th of each month from October onwards, depending on your contract length.

If you booked through your university, your dates might be different.
You’ll find your full schedule in your tenancy agreement and in the iQ app.
If anything’s unclear, your building team will happily help.

How do I book?

Booking your room at iQ is quick and simple. Just choose your room online, pay your booking fee and sign your tenancy agreement digitally. If you want to pay in instalments, you’ll need to add details for a guarantor.

If you'd prefer to speak to someone, you’re welcome to call the building you’re interested in or drop in for a chat. We’re here to help.

What do I need to bring with me?

Your room has the essentials, but you’ll want a few bits to help you settle in. Think sheets, a duvet, pillows, towels, toiletries, toilet paper, hangers and some basic kitchen items.

If you’d rather travel light, you can order ready‑made bedding, kitchen and bathroom packs from UniKitOut, our approved partner. They’ll deliver everything straight to your building so it’s waiting for you when you arrive.

We’ve also put together a handy checklist to help you plan what to bring or buy once you're here.
