FAQs
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?
You can see what’s included in your room on the room details page for your iQ site. Among the things you will need, or may want, to bring are bedding, towels, toiletries, toilet paper, basic kitchen equipment, hangers, and a computer or laptop. You can also purchase all your essentials from our partner Uni Kit Out.
We have compiled a checklist of things you may want to bring - or buy when you arrive.
