Booking Details
COVID-19 Cancellation Policy
As we have previously stated, we are very keen to ensure that the current circumstances do not deter students from booking their accommodation - or unsettle those who have already booked - for the 2020/21 academic year. We confirm that the protection under our current cancellation policy covers extenuating circumstances including being unable to travel and illness.
In these circumstances, students who have booked for the 2020/21 academic year - or may wish to book - are eligible to cancel their booking at any time, and iQ will also fully refund any fees paid. Any cancellation application would go through our usual channels and the policy and process are here. We hope this gives reassurance to those who have booked - or want to book - that they can do so without suffering any financial consequences, should the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 make them unable to travel in the future.
Cancellation Policy

In these circumstances any rent paid by you (including the Booking Fee allocated to the first payment of rent) will not be refunded to cover any losses incurred by us for empty unlet rooms.

If you have entered into the Tenancy Agreement and you wish to cancel your booking, regardless of whether you have collected your keys, 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:
You notify us of your intention to cancel your booking prior to 1 August.
Your UK Visa application has been denied.

No further evidence is required beyond notifying us, but your Booking Fee will be retained as a cancellation fee.

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 and any overpaid rent money will be refunded to you, less an amount equal to your 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.
If you cancel the booking, but you enter into a new tenancy agreement with iQ Student Accommodation in respect of a different room within the same academic year, you will be required to pay to us an administration fee of 50.
