Can I pay in a foreign currency?
Yes. Please contact us if you want to pay in a non-UK currency.
Where are you based?
CLOUDROOMS is based at 119 Hamlets Way, London E3 4TY. For viewings, we normally meet you at the flat to save you time (or we can do them online). Or you can see us at the monthly pizza evenings.
How do I know I’ll get my damage deposit back?
CLOUDROOMS is part of The Tenancy Deposit scheme. CLOUDROOMS doesn’t actually hold your damage deposit, it is held by an independent third party, regulated by the government.
What is the damage deposit?
When you pay your first-month rent, you also need to pay a damage deposit of one month's rent. This is to ensure against breakages and damage.
What is the reservation fee?
You need to pay one weeks rent to reserve your room. This fee then contributes to your first month’s rent.
What happens if I don’t like who I’m sharing with?
We’ll move you, as soon as we have another room that is available. This is for free, assuming the room is the same price. Or you only pay the difference if the room is more expensive.
Who will I be sharing with?
We aim to have a mix of nationalities in each flat. Most CLOUDROOMS guests are young professionals or post-graduate students. Typically they are aged from 20-31. From previous experience, we expect mostly people from Europe and Asia, with a handful from UK and the Rest of the World.
Can I do a viewing via Skype / Google Hangout / Zoom?
Sure! Many CLOUDROOMS guests are moving to London from abroad and we aim to make it easy to choose a room before moving to the city. Contact us to arrange a time.
What’s the longest I can rent for?
As long as you like! If you pay for a year in advance, you get a 5% reduction in rent. You can also rent on a rolling monthly contract, which continues until you give your notice. We require 28 days notice.
What is the shortest period I can rent for?
Our shortest rental period is 7 days.
What is included with the room?
The room is fully furnished and ready for you to hit the ground running. Visit the Why CLOUDROOMS? page for full details.
