Vita Student Rent Payment Guide

When do I have to pay my rent?

You’ll find this information in your tenancy agreement, which you will have received and signed when you made the booking. The deadline for the first instalment of rent also depends on the date the booking was made, but will be mentioned in the contract. Alternatively, you can find the details of your payment plan by logging into your account on the landlord portal here. Click on the icon in the top menu to log in.

You can find your payment schedule in the portal. You can also see receipts of payments you’ve already made.

How much is the rent?

This depends on what room you booked. You can find the price in the booking confirmation email you’ve received from Student.com, as well as from your tenancy agreement, and also in the landlord portal. The amount of rent you have to pay is usually listed either per week (ppw) or per month (pcm). You’ll see how much you have to pay in your payment schedule.

What is a licence fee?

A licence fee is a fee you may have to pay in order to secure the booking for you. The licence fee is paid before moving in and the amount of it can be deducted from your first rent payment.

How should I pay the rent?

The rent can be paid by bank transfer or card.

You can find the bank details of your landlord in your tenancy agreement or the landlord portal. The rent is paid directly to the landlord, and you don’t have to pay anything to Student.com.

Once you’ve logged in to the portal, click on “Make a payment” to pay your rent.
