Each hall will have their own criteria for accepting a guarantor but in general the guarantor must be: • over 18 years old • have lived in the UK for over 3 years • a homeowner OR in full-time employment What is a guarantor? A guarantor is a person who ensures the tenant pays their rent and adheres to the student halls rules and regulations. If the tenant does not do this then the guarantor will be responsible for paying instead.For more information please see link https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/housing/renting-a-home-s/student-housing- s/student-housing-using-a-guarantor-s/ Short-term exchange, Short Course and Summer School students Students coming to the Conservatoire on a one trimester exchange programme or a Short Course / Summer School course wishing to stay in an independent student hall of residence should consider the following halls: • UNITE (Buchanan View, Blackfriars, Gibson Street, Kelvin Court and Thurso Street) Short-Term Lets: http://www.unite-students.com/short-stays • Liberty House Summer Lets: www.libertyliving.co.uk/summer-accommodation/glasgow • Victoria Hall Summer Lets: www.victoriahall.com/summer-stays • Fresh Student Living (Collegelands and Tramworks) Summer Lets: http://freshstudentliving.co.uk/news/stay-summer • Mansion Firhill Summer Lets: www.mansionstudent.co.uk/glasgow-student- accommodation/mansion-firhill-flats/rent-rooms Couples accommodation Students interested in living with a friend or partner in an independent student hall of residence should consider the following halls: • Gallery Apartments • The Ballet School • Kelvingrove House • Derwent Students Where to find Private Renting: • Our Freshers’ page on Facebook is an excellent source to find a room or flat in Glasgow especially with other Conservatoire students.

You will find private accommodation advertised there and you can search according to rent per month, number of bedrooms and other facilities. There is also lots of useful information on what to look for in a flat and on other frequently asked questions that students may have: www.glasgowpad.org/Home.aspx • This is a list of local Letting Agents websites with properties in Glasgow: o www.infinitiproperties.com o www.martinco.com o www.clydeproperty.co.uk o www.oneillproperty.co.uk o www.fineholm.co.uk o www.djalexander.co.uk o www.1-2-let.co.uk o www.rightmove.co.uk o www.spareroom.co.uk o www.glasgow.gumtree.com o www.lettingweb.com o www.s1rental.com o www.citylets.co.uk o www.zoopla.co.uk o www.accommodationforstudents.com/searchform.asp?city=Glasgow o uk.easyroommate.com Private Renting – Hints and Tips When viewing a property: • Take a friend with you on any property visits. • Check security: main entrance, locks and windows. • Check smoke detectors: all flats should have one. • Check gas: if there are gas appliances in the flat (i.e. gas cooker or fire), there should be a carbon monoxide detector fitted. Ask the landlord to see the original CORGI Gas safety certificate for any gas appliances. A CORGI registered inspector should check this every 12 months. • Make sure all taps work when you view the flat and that sinks are not cracked and that the toilet does not leak. • Make sure you check the lease carefully and ask for a signed copy – check the details regarding repairs, communal fees, check all tenants’ names are included on the lease. • If 3 or more unrelated people occupy a house, the landlord must have a HMO licence (House of Multiple Occupancy), which means that the property meets certain safety standards. It is the landlord’s responsibility to arrange and pay for this licence and you should check that your landlord has one if this is necessary. • The Glasgow PAD website also has useful advice on flat-hunting, and tenant and landlord responsibilities. When leasing a property: • Ensure that you have read and understood the lease agreement before signing. • There is usually a deposit to pay, which is normally one month’s rent. This is to cover any damages or unpaid bills at the end of the tenancy and will be returned in full at the end of the tenancy, as long as there are no damages or unpaid bills. Make sure you receive a receipt for any deposits paid. • We strongly recommend (for international students in particular) that you do not pay deposits by Western Union money transfer, so that you can track your payment. When you move in: • You must take the gas and electricity meter readings as soon as you move into the flat. • Ensure that new accounts for gas, electricity, telephone etc. are set up in your name. • Ensure that any damage is reported in writing and keep a copy of all letters. • Make sure that you have proof of payment for all rent paid. • An inventory (list) of the contents of the flat should be taken, if possible before signing the contract and this should be signed by the landlord and the tenant. If the landlord has not provided his own inventory then you should make one and the landlord should check and sign it. • Make sure you get contents insurance for your possessions. The landlord will be insured for the contents that come with the flat but this will not cover your possessions. • If you are a full-time student, you should complete a Council Tax student exemption form. Council Tax What is Council Tax? • Council Tax is a tax levied on households by local authorities in Britain, based on the estimated value of a property and the number of people living in it. • Students are not required to pay council tax if they are enrolled on a full-time course of 21 hours or more per week for a minimum of 24 weeks per year.

    Scottish Tradition Vol. 27 2002 WORKING CLASS CULTURE, FAMILY LIFE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CLYDESIDE, C 1918-1939: A VIEW FROM BELOW. ‘People have no idea how the poor lived in those days. They seemed to be at loggerheads all the time.’ 1 he inter-war years were distinguished by marked changes that affected the lives and neighbourhoods of Tmany working class men and women. These changes would prove to have positive and negative implications for working-class family life. New employment opportunities extended the breadth of jobs open to working class people, espe- cially in the new consumer industries that employed significant numbers of women. Correspondingly, the commercialisation of leisure expanded the possibilities of pleasure. Information on birth control and the greater ease of availability of contraceptives also offered a better potential to postpone marriage and reduce family size. Yet, the new employment opportunities did little to alter the ‘pin money’ wages of women and women’s economic dependency on marriage. Marriage was still seen as an attractive alternative to employment in the longer term.2 Marriage and motherhood were actively promoted as the natural and fulfilling aspirations for women by the state, state agencies, the clergy, religious organisations and the media. Adding to the appeal was the ideal of the ‘companionate marriage’ in which husbands were expected to share chores, child-care, leisure and provide love and companionship. It seems that this was a ‘fairly norma- tive’ aspiration amongst many sectors of the working class between the wars, at least amongst women. Change, however, was not just ideological.3 After World War I, the building of ‘homes fit for heroes’ and the growth of ‘new garden cities’, were linked with ideals of the companionate marriage, maternalism, privacy, respectable domesticity and the growth of male home- centred pastimes.

Port Dundas was one of the founding members of the grain distillers’ conglomerate DCL. Port Dundas later went on to merge with its neighbouring distillery, Cowlairs and another one in 1902, Dundashill. Port Dundas produced grain whisky for many blended whisky brands owned by Diageo such as, Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's, Black & White, Vat 69, Haig and White Horse. The site would produce an astonishing 39 million litres of spirit each year before it was shut indefinitely. Sadly after a century of distilling, in 2010 Diageo made the decision to focus their efforts on grain production and expaned Cameronbridge side, and in 2011 production ceased and the site was demolished.
