You also need to read and sign the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (the "Agreement") before you move in. Once you have paid your deposit and signed your Agreement online you are agreeing to take up your place within the accommodation and are bound to pay the Agreement fee until the end of the period set out in the Agreement. Any subsequent request to cancel will require you to find a student to replace you, who is approved by aparto, to take over your Agreement. This carries an administration fee of 100.
The following is applicable to first year students only:
If you are not successful in obtaining your place at your chosen university/college then dont worry, we can help. We will consider a release from your Agreement and refund of any advance Rent payment where you can provide proof that you did not obtain a place at a university/college which is within a reasonable distance from the student accommodation you have booked.

Cancellation after you have moved in:

Replacement if you wish to leave the accommodation after you have moved in, you will need to find a suitable replacement to take over your agreement, and you will remain liable for all licence fee payments until the replacement has signed a new licence agreement, paid and checked into the accommodation.
