Replacement Tenant Accepted

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


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.

  • 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.

Other cancellation policies

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


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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are sites secure?

Each site is covered by CCTV and has onsite security staff, with staff present 24 hours a day. There is also a digital entry system at each building. You should not allow people to ‘tailgate’ – that is, hold the door open for people behind you as you enter.

Can I book if I'm under 18?

Management does not accept parental responsibility for occupiers under the age of 18.

They require that all tenants living at one of their properties in England and Wales to be over the age of 17 during the academic year booked to live at management, and tenants living in their Scottish properties to be age 16 or over.

Exceptions to this rule are available in selected cases through prior arrangement. If in doubt, please contact your preferred management site and the team will be able to advise you.

Can I bring a tv?

If you want to bring a TV, check that your room has a TV point and don’t bring one larger than 21”. You can’t mount your TV on the wall, so make sure it’s free-standing. While all TVs provided by management in communal areas accessed by all residents are covered by a TV Licence, you will need to buy your own licence if you bring your own TV or if there is one already in your room or shared kitchen & living area. If you’re unsure, please check with your site team.

For details of licensing requirements regarding catch-up TV and online streaming, please refer to your resident handbook, ask your site team or contact TV Licensing.

Yes – most sites have a secure bike store that is free to use for all residents. You will need to register and tag your bike with the site team when you arrive.

Can I bring my car?

Some of the sites have limited parking, including in some cases disabled parking bays. However, as the locations are generally close to universities and local amenities, a car shouldn't really be necessary. If you do want to arrange parking, speak to the site team as soon as possible - any spaces available are likely to be reserved very quickly.

Can I bring pets?

Sadly, they do not allow pets at sites. However, they make an exception for residents who require the assistance of a trained and registered Service Dog or Assistance Dog.

The hall experience I’ve had this year compared to last year is non-comparable, the staff at IQ Collingwood are so friendly and approachable, they’re always happy to help with any issue you might have. The rooms are spacious and airy and the kitchens make it so easy to socialise both with flatmates or other people in the building. The common room is an easy way to chill out alone, with friends or others in the common room and there’s also a separate part perfect for revising or doing university work if you don’t want to go to the library.

This accommodation is one of the best I’ve seen in Newcastle. It’s so reasonably priced for the size of the rooms. It’s a 5-minute walk to Northumbria University which is so convenient saves so much time in travel and saves you money on extra expenses! The staff are so friendly, and you can speak to them about anything, and they’ll try and help!
