Extended cancellation policy (21-22 academic year bookings):

Students who make a booking  after 14/01/2021 but before 31/05/2021 can benefit from this extended cancellation policy:

Some properties have an extended flexible cancellation period for 21-22 academic year bookings. Properties will allow cancellation of your booking up to 31st May 2021 for any reason without penalty, and we will refund your security deposit in full as outlined in the standard cancellation terms.

1. This applies to any tenancy length for 21-22 academic year bookings only.

For the avoidance of doubt, it does not apply to any bookings for accommodation during the 20-21 academic year or summer 2021 period.

2. You must notify us in writing (including email) no later than 23:59:59 on 31/05/2021. After this date, the standard cancellation terms apply.

3. This promotion is in addition to our standard cancellation terms which continue unaffected.

4. This promotion only applies to bookings made directly with us or through an agent and does not apply to bookings made via universities or other institutions as part of a nominations or referral agreement unless expressly specified.

5. Cancelling your booking using this promotion invalidates any other promotion you may have been eligible for, including but not limited to any prize draws, cashbacks or referral incentives.

6. Existing customers must be up to date with payments due on their account to be eligible for this promotion.

7. We reserve the right to withdraw or change this promotion at any time, and the new terms in place will then apply to bookings made after any amendment.

Cancellation Policy

4.1 Cancellation cooling off period(s) If you choose to cancel your booking with property Management group, you will have 5 calendar days after signing your AST to do so.  

If you made your booking fewer than 5 calendar days before your AST start date, you may cancel your booking until the earlier of (a) 5 calendar days after signing your AST, or (b) the date you actually check in.   

You may request to cancel your booking by sending an email to the property.  

Property Management group will refund your deposit (less a 50.00 fee) within 14 calendar days of accepting your cancellation. International bank transfers can take longer to process funds and incur a transfer fee.  

4.2 Cancellations after the cooling off period(s) You will not be able to cancel your booking after your cooling off period has ended. You and your Guarantor (if applicable) will be required to meet the obligations set out within your AST.   

4.3 Cancellations after you have moved into the accommodation We hope you speak to our local property manager if you are thinking about leaving your accommodation. If you do decide to leave your accommodation during your contracted term, the landlord may agree to release you from your contract, providing the conditions set out below are met: You provide sufficient evidence to support your cancellation request You find a suitable replacement (who must be enrolled as a full-time student at a local university or college) to take a new tenancy agreement for your room for the remaining period of your contract.  The incoming tenant must enter into an AST with property Management group, providing the relevant requested documents, and where relevant also providing a suitable UK Guarantor. Refunds due will not be processed until the incoming tenant taking over the contract has signed the AST, paid and moved into the accommodation. If you fail to find someone to take over your tenancy, you and your guarantor (if applicable) will be responsible for paying the full rent until the end of your contracted time at the accommodation. You will also remain liable for the rent payment until the new tenants AST starts.  

4.4 Cancellations by property Management group or the Landlord Our terms and conditions require you to sign your AST within the period specified on your electronic AST. If you and your Guarantor (if applicable) fail to sign your AST within this timescale, your AST will be automatically cancelled.  

Property Management group retains its right to cancel your AST and retain your deposit should you fail to provide a suitable guarantor for your tenancy on more than 2 occasions. If for any reason property Management group is not able to offer you accommodation once your AST is fully signed, we will contact you as soon as possible detailing the reasons why, or offering an alternative solution on terms sufficiently similar than the ones already agreed upon. If we cannot offer a suitable alternative, we will refund all monies paid to property Management group. Should you decline the alternative accommodation, you can find a suitable replacement tenant to take over your tenancy and you and your Guarantor (if applicable) will remain liable for the rent payment until such time.
