The main accommodation office is<br />

situated in the <strong>Student</strong>s Union<br />

Building, (Block 14 on the Moylish<br />

campus), with service provision also<br />

available in LSAD and Tipperary.<br />

The accommodation office is open<br />

all year round Monday to Friday, and<br />

the Accommodation Service staff will<br />

help students to organise their own<br />

accommodation when applicable.<br />

The service is based on:-<br />

1. A Referral Basis:<br />

Whereby students receive a list of<br />

properties, from which the required<br />

housing is selected at the discretion<br />

of the student involved. All the<br />

listings are accessed via our website:<br />

www.lit.ie/Accommodation<br />

2. Personal Inspection:<br />

Whereby each student is responsible<br />

for inspecting his/her<br />

accommodation and for dealing<br />

directly with the landlord should<br />

there be any problems related to the<br />

property.<br />

Accommodation Safety<br />

• Do not leave personal property<br />

exposed.<br />

• Always lock doors and windows<br />

before leaving the property.<br />

• If a caller to the door claims to be<br />

an official, ask for proof of identity.<br />

• If you lose your accommodation<br />

door keys, make sure the locks are<br />

changed.<br />

• Never hide keys outside the house.<br />

• Ask the property owner to install an<br />

outside light above the front door<br />

so that you can see callers clearly<br />

after dark.<br />

• Do not smoke in bed.<br />

• Please ask the landlord to provide<br />

smoke alarms.
