DeansHall Bishopstown

* Accommodation can only be paid by full or part payment.

** An Electricity Deposit of €400.00 is due with the Accommodation Fees to cover the Licensee’s share of electricity charges for the duration of the term set out in this Licence Agreement. Meter reads are submitted by DeansHall to the Electricity Supply Company (the “Supplier”) at the start and at the end of the License Agreement dates. Meters are also read by the Supplier during the academic year when or how often this occurs is at the discretion of the Supplier. Several bills are estimated and, again, the frequency of these estimated bills is at the discretion of the Supplier and is not controlled by DeansHall. The Electricity Supply Company issues bills to DeansHall Apartments every two months. The date of issue of these bills is decided by the electricity Supplier; payment due for the billing period is divided by the number of current licensed residents holding a Licence Agreement in an apartment and following the issuing of the bill from the Supplier an equal share is deducted from the Electricity deposit of each Licensee and paid to the Supplier. The amount taken from your deposit is visible on the financial section of the student portal and a copy of your bill is available from reception. Please note that the cost of electricity is divided by the number of licensees in an apartment holding a valid and subsisting Licence Agreement whether they are ordinarily in occupation or not during the period of the Licence Agreement and is not divided by the number of rooms in an apartment. If any licensee cancels their Licence Agreement between electricity bills, they will nonetheless be charged for electricity up to and including their departure date. Any licensee who leaves before the end of the Licence Agreement and provides a minimum 28 days’ notice as per terms set out in this Agreement can request a copy of the meter reads on the last day of their 28 days’ notice. If the room remains vacant, the Licensor will notify the remaining licensees of the departure and confirm that from the date of notification the costs of electricity will reflect the usage of the remaining licensees and the bill will be divided equally among the remaining licensees. The remaining licensees will be notified to the email address we have on file for you for all correspondence. Each apartment receives a copy of the bill in their pigeonhole in reception showing the breakdown of charges. It is advisable to take note as to whether the bill issued is an estimated bill or a read meter bill for your own reference. We remain at the disposition of all licensees for any questions they may have pertaining to their electricity bill.

Please note that we do not set the electricity tariff nor do we have any control over a licenced resident’s usage of electricity.

Keys to the accommodation cannot be issued until the electricity supply deposit is paid in full.

Any credit remaining from the Electricity Deposit will be refunded with the Security Deposit refund, normally within eight weeks from your end of licence agreement departure date/ end of 28 days’ notice unless there are outstanding fines, rent due or damage to the apartment.

Please note that the bills are monitored by DeansHall administration but the responsibility of the electricity usage within an apartment lies solely with the licensee. DeansHall is not responsible for any misuse/overuse of electricity by licenced residents and strongly recommends that all licensees in an apartment discuss usage at the beginning of the academic year.

All licenced residents in an apartment will be notified if their bill is above average.

N.B Top Up Deposits may be requested from each licensee in an apartment if, after calculation, DeansHall deem that the balance of the Electricity Deposit in place will not suffice to cover future bills.

The Licensee is liable to pay their share of electricity charges up to and including the end date of their Licence Agreement or 28 days’ notice period, whether they are ordinarily in occupation or not.
