Cancellation Policy(2020-21):-

We operate a 72 hour cooling off period up to the 31st July so if your circumstances change you can cancel your booking. To cancel your booking you need to email the accommodation team within 72 hours of signing your Tenancy Agreement. From the 1st August the cooling off period is reduced to 24 hours. Once the Cooling Off period has expired, you can cancel your booking if:

You have failed to achieve the grades to continue your study at university 

In these circumstances, you can cancel your booking prior to the tenancy start date by providing evidence to the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of being notified. To cancel your booking under these circumstances, please send your UCAS notification/ Visa refusal documentation to the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of receiving it. 

There are no other circumstances when we will accept a request for a cancellation either before or during the tenancy. 

It may be possible with the Landlords agreement to transfer your obligations to someone else who would be eligible to live at the property. This arrangement is known as a Tenancy Takeover. Once the new person has signed and accepted to take over all your obligations are you then released from your obligations to pay the rent and other terms of the Tenancy Agreement. 

Guarantors 

Applicants will be required to nominate a guarantor who must accept the role and will be responsible for paying the rent and all other obligations as set out in the Tenancy Agreement in the event you fail to do so. If full payment is made up front and the tenant will be over 18 years old at the commencement of the Tenancy Agreement a  guarantor will not be required. The guarantor needs to be able to fulfil the obligations under the Tenancy Agreement and is usually a parent or guardian but under no circumstance can they be another tenant living in a property managed by Fresh.
