How many instalment will I have?

Typically at DIGS you will have 3 rent instalments, which are usually in October, January and April and usually coincide with Student Finance. There is also a deposit of £100 and a smaller pre-rent payment of £150 to pay in August. The exact date can be found on your statement.
