Yes I do because, there is an inherent risk for a service to be installed in shared occupancy addresses.
Although I'm sure there are lots of students that pay everything on time, there are probably a fair chunk that either don't pay on time, or don't return the kit when they leave at the end of the 9 months. Charging a fee at the beginning means that VM are likely to offset any risk further through the contract.
