When will I be released from the contract?
You will only be released from your contract if one of the below options are met (and youre eligible for that option):
If you emailed us within your 3 day cooling off period to inform that you wish to cancel, and you have provided your signed cancellation request form which has been accepted by us
If a suitable replacement tenant is found and clause 9.3 in your contract is met
If you sign a new contract with us at dwell Students and you sign the new contract (and surpass the 3 day cooling off period, if applicable)

However, if a suitable replacement tenant is found for your room (and clause 9.3 in your contract is met) after your contract start date, we will release you from your contract from the date that the new tenants contract starts.
