Notice to Residents:
As you are probably aware there is a variety of student accommodation in Galway city to suit various students’ requirements and budgets. Student Services at NUIG have a listed these various accommodation options on their website for your information; www.daft.ie and www.winterspm.com also have accommodation listings.
Here at Gort na Coiribe Student village we offer a 2-moiety payment system, where the rent for the full academic term of 38 weeks in paid in 2 moieties broken down as follows:
- Moiety 1: 22 weeks x weekly rental amount, to be paid no later then check in
- Moiety 2: 16 weeks x weekly rental amount, to be paid on or before 6th December
As you can appreciate we are not in a position to offer a weekly or monthly rental collection service for 2 reasons:
- We accommodate 645 students making it impossible to manage weekly or monthly payments. (in total our company mange 1500 student bed spaces in Galway)
- We have obligations to the owners of these houses in Gort na Coiribe to return the rental monies to them by dates set out in our contract with them. They in turn need this payment to be made to them on time so as they can meet their mortgage payment obligations with their banks.
If you are experiencing delays with grant payments through SUSI, we suggest you contact your bank or credit union to organise a bridging loan until these payments are released to you. Unfortunately we are not in a position to offer a bridging facility due to the reasons listed above.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Gort na Coiribe Office
