All residents are required to register a guarantor, who will be ultimately responsible for your rent if you do not make payment. The guarantor will need to provide identification and sign a Guarantor’s Agreement, confirming they agree to act as your guarantor.

Your guarantor can be UK or International based, but must be aged 21 or over; not a full time student; or a current resident in a property that is managed by the same property management. If you are unable to pay your rent and/or do not act in accordance with the terms of your tenancy agreement, your guarantor will be under an obligation to pay any outstanding amounts.

Note: If you pay in a 'single instalment' when booking then you don't need to provide details of your guarantor.

Once you have collected your key or the Tenancy Start Date has passed, the only way to release yourself from the Tenancy Agreement is to find a replacement tenant who will take on the full contractual obligations under the Tenancy Agreement.

If you wish to end your tenancy early and have found a replacement tenant, property management will, acting reasonably, consider terminating your tenancy and entering into a replacement tenancy with a new occupier (a “Tenancy Takeover”).

Property Management will only consider Tenancy Takeovers in the period starting one month after your Tenancy Start Date and two months before your Tenancy End Date (“Permitted Period”).

If the property management approves a Tenancy Takeover during the Permitted Period, you will pay any rent arrears before the property management releases you from your Tenancy Agreement. Such release shall be effective from the start date of the replacement tenant's new tenancy agreement.

Once the new replacement tenant has:

• Signed their tenancy agreement,
• Paid any rent due, and
• Moved in,

any overpaid rent money will be refunded to you within 28 days of the start date of the replacement tenant’s new tenancy agreement, less an amount equal to your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee), which will be retained as a cancellation fee.

If you fail to leave the Room in accordance with the terms of your Tenancy Agreement, you may be liable for any damages suffered by the property management, which may be deducted from any refund due.

Note:- Please note that all tenancies commence on a Saturday.

For 25-26 AY & 26-27 AY:-

If you choose to defer your university entry to the next academic year before the start date of your tenancy, they will cancel your Tenancy Agreement and refund any rent payments made as long as you provide the following information:

• Written confirmation from you that you wish to cancel your reservation due to deferring your university entry to the next academic year; and
• Supporting written evidence from the University or UCAS to confirm deferral

In these circumstances, any Booking Fee will be retained as a cancellation fee.

Cancellation by the property prior to you collecting your key

The property reserves the right to cancel your booking on notice if:

• You notify them after the Deadline that you have decided not to enter into the Tenancy Agreement;
• They take all reasonable steps to enter into the Tenancy Agreement before the Deadline and you fail to do so, for example, if you fail to complete your application or provide guarantor details and supporting documentation in good time;
• You provide them with relevant false or misleading information;
• They are prohibited from entering to the Tenancy Agreement with you because of the Immigration Act 2014 (persons disqualified by immigration status). In the case they cancel your booking for this reason, you will not be liable for the contractual obligations laid out in the Tenancy Agreement from the date of cancellation, irrespective of whether you have signed it;
• They have determined following undertaking Screening Searches that you appear on Sanctions Lists and/or Law Enforcement Databases;
• You fail to cooperate with any Screening Search Additional Information Request(s);
• You have not paid any amounts that have fallen due (including but not limited to, your first rental instalment, any previous year’s rent or damage charges); and/or
• You have committed any breach of the Tenancy Agreement or any previous tenancy agreement with Property Management.

They may also terminate your Tenancy Agreement for any of the reasons set out above, as set out in more detail in clause 2.4 of the Tenancy Agreement itself. If you enter into the Tenancy Agreement, and you then fail to collect your key within 2 weeks of your Tenancy Start Date, The property reserves the right to:(a) Cancel your booking and terminate the Tenancy Agreement and(b) Re-let your room. In these circumstances any rent paid by you (including any Booking Fee allocated to the first payment of rent) will not be refunded to cover any losses incurred by us for empty unlet rooms.  This provision takes precedence over any provisions in the Tenancy Agreement. If your booking is cancelled in such circumstances, any Booking Fee you have paid will be retained by the property.

Cancellation by you – prior to collecting your key

If you have not entered into the Tenancy Agreement, the Deadline has passed and you wish to cancel your booking, then any Booking Fee you have paid will be retained by the property. If you have entered into the Tenancy Agreement and you wish to cancel your booking, you will remain liable for the contractual obligations set out in the Tenancy Agreement and you may not cancel the booking unless you can provide proof that you fit any of the following criteria and have not yet collected your key, and provide the evidence required within the timescales as detailed below:

• You notify them of your intention to cancel your booking prior to 1 August or, if your Tenancy Start Date (as defined in your Tenancy Agreement) is in any month other than September, 28 days before your Tenancy Start Date.
• Your UK Visa application has been denied.
• You have not obtained the required qualifications to get into your first University of choice
• You are deferring your university entry.

Where proof is provided in accordance with these terms and conditions and to their reasonable satisfaction, you will be entitled to cancel the booking and you will not be liable for the contractual obligations laid out in the Tenancy Agreement from the date of cancellation. All cancellation notifications must be made via their app and official email.

Where the reason for cancellation is not one of the five matters listed above (e.g. you have changed your mind, booked a different accommodation, voluntarily withdrawing your university entry etc.), you will remain liable for the full contractual rent, unless and until a replacement tenant is found for your accommodation. You are responsible for finding an eligible replacement tenant, although site staff will assist where possible.

If you wish to cancel the booking and a replacement tenant is found, subject to our agreement, you will be released from the contractual obligations set out in the Tenancy Agreement. Once the new replacement tenant has signed their Tenancy Agreement and paid any rent due, any overpaid rent money will be refunded to you, less an amount equal to your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee) as a cancellation fee.  Please note that all tenancies commence on a Saturday; therefore the relevant site team will confirm your official release date from your contractual obligations under the Tenancy Agreement.
