Our policy about living at CODE that covers being a friendly neighbour, how to keep the site secure and having friends visit.
At CODE we want you to have fun but there are a few things that are definitely not permitted, as outlined in the terms of your contract.
When it comes to illegal activity of any description, we have a zero-tolerance policy.
We work closely with the Universities and Police on this matter and will not hesitate to inform them if we become aware of such activities. We will not tolerate drugs of any kind at CODE; this includes both illegal and legal highs (psychoactive substances).
We regularly perform sniffer dog patrols throughout all blocks and if you are found to have drugs in your possession, both the Police and University will be informed.
If you are planning on having a friend around to your flat, please consider your neighbour. You might not have any work to do, but they might be planning a night of revision.
Please do not forget that we have communal areas available for you to use, so feel free to use these spaces with your friends. You are allowed to socialise in your rooms, but noise levels must be kept to a minimum at all times.
All we ask is that you are considerate toward others & look after yourselves, or you risk a £50 noise penalty charge.
Many students believe that noise rules only apply at night, they don’t! Noise disturbances can occur any time of the day; please remember that some students work nights and sleep during the day. Please be mindful of noise at all times.
When you come to move in, we ask you to sign a document to agree that you will not smoke within your flat or in any part of the building.
Smoking in your flat can cause damages to surfaces, walls and other items and can lead to a large amount of your deposit being deducted to pay for replacement items and redecoration. It’s also very unpleasant for your neighbours to have to live with and is a huge fire hazard!
Please be aware of the needs of neighbours living in nearby streets. Many local residents have full time jobs and/or young children, and may be more affected by noise and disturbance.
We kindly ask you follow these simple measures to help maintain good relations with neighbours:

The E-Scooters & E-Bikes Policy covers the use and storage of E-scooters and E-bikes on site to ensure safety.
Some rules may seem quite severe but there have been cases around the country where not following the rules has left to injury and death.
Please don’t take that chance. We all make mistakes, we fall asleep, or leave something on accidentally. Please eliminate the risk before it starts. We ask that you don’t have naked flames in the flat
