While the world is slowly adjusting and evolving from the global pandemic, COVID-19\u2019s impact is still present. Even though we haven\u2019t quite returned to business as usual, one thing hasn\u2019t changed at LIV Student\u2014our commitment to keeping residents safe. As universities navigate the \u201cnew normal\u201d (whether that be opening back up or a combination of on-site and online classes), we understand that you may be hesitant to go to school and move into student accommodation. But we want you to know that we\u2019re taking multiple steps to make LIV Student as safe as possible, to put residents\u2019 minds at ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below, we\u2019re sharing a few ways that we\u2019ll help residents feel ready to return to uni and embrace life after COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve always made sure to keep our residences as clean as possible, but now, we\u2019re taking it even further. We\u2019ve stepped up our cleaning schedules and perform frequent, thorough cleanings of all high touch-point areas following government recommendations<\/a>. All common areas are disinfected consistently, so residents can feel safe when they venture from their apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent any potential spread of COVID-19, we also zero in on high-footfall areas. We provide hand sanitizer in all buildings. That way, everyone can help stop the virus before it has a chance to spread throughout our student accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re deeply committed to encouraging social distancing as much as possible. Currently, only LIV Student residents have access to our buildings, so that there\u2019s a clear idea of who\u2019s coming in and out. Residents can still take advantage of our outdoor spaces like the rooftop terrace and safely hang with their mates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While COVID-19 is a virus, it\u2019s hurt people in more ways than by impacting their physical health. We know that many people were out of work or faced other challenges, and are now in difficult financial positions. What\u2019s more, if you\u2019re hesitant to book due to uncertainty, we\u2019re offering no deposit booking to reserve your spot. (Learn more in our T&Cs<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n As businesses open back up, and we learn more about COVID-19, things are continually changing. We know how confusing it can be, and how much conflicting info there\u2019s out there. That\u2019s why we\u2019re making a firm promise to update residents with any new, relevant information as soon as possible. (Check out our news page<\/a> for the latest). We\u2019re in a very uncertain time right now\u2014we get it! Our \u201cNo Place, No Stay, No Stress\u201d <\/em><\/strong>policy assures future residents that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Learn more in Section 4.5 in our T&Cs<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, just like always, residents are our priority\u2014as well as their mental, physical, and emotional health. We\u2019re here for you, and we\u2019ll provide assistance in any way that we can. If you have questions or concerns, you can always reach out to us<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPractising Social Distancing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, some areas make it nearly impossible to keep the proper amount of distance from each other. Because of that, we\u2019re following government advice and have temporarily closed amenities where residents can\u2019t safely distance. We understand that it\u2019s a challenge to lose access to social spaces in your student accommodation, like cinema rooms, common rooms, and gyms. However, the more we all practise social distancing, the sooner we can all get back to normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHelping Those in Financial Distress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been impacted, we want you to know that we\u2019re here for you and want to help. If it\u2019s difficult to make rent payments, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your local manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\nKeeping Students Informed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If there are any new restrictions, or we\u2019re able to open more social spaces\u2014we\u2019ll let residents know immediately. Residents and their families can have total confidence that we\u2019re following the latest guidelines and keeping everyone safe and informed in the process! <\/p>\n\n\n\nOffering Flexible Policies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
