Booking
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation before you move in:
To confirm your application, the deposit required is 250. This fee is held by the
Tenancy Deposit Scheme and is returnable at the end of your tenancy, providing you
meet the terms in the Agreement. 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. You will need to submit your request to cancel in
writing or email along with the proof to the Accommodation Manager at your chosen
location within five working days of confirmation having been received that you did not
obtain a place at your chosen university/college
We will also consider the same release terms if you fail to obtain your visa to study.
However, you will need to send us proof of such within five days of receipt from the
visa office, and before 1st September 2019.
Cancellation after you have moved in:
1. 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. Only at this point are
we able to release you from your Agreement and refund you any overpayment that
may be due on your account. Replacements carry a 100 administration fee.
2. Without replacement we will only consider any release without replacement in
exceptional circumstances, such as on medical grounds. Any request will need to be
accompanied by evidence, such as a doctor's letter, in writing, and sent to the General
Manager. The General Manager's decision whether to release under exceptional
circumstances is final.
