Replacement Tenant Accepted

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.

Once the new replacement tenant has: <ul> <li>Signed their tenancy agreement,</li> <li>Paid any rent due, and</li> <li>Moved in,</li> </ul> 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.

Deferring Studies

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: <ul> <li>Written confirmation from you that you wish to cancel your reservation due to deferring your university entry to the next academic year; and</li> <li>Supporting written evidence from the University or UCAS to confirm deferral</li> </ul> In these circumstances, any Booking Fee will be retained as a cancellation fee.

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: <ul> <li>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.</li> <li>You notify them of your intention to cancel within 7 days of payment of your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee) and you have not collected your keys.</li> <li>Your UK Visa application has been denied.</li> <li>You have not obtained the required qualifications to get into your first University of choice</li> <li>You are deferring your university entry.</li> </ul> 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.

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. Evidence required where there is a cancellation by you: - 1. Notify the property of your intention to cancel within 7 days of payment of your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee) and you have not collected your keys. No further evidence is required beyond notifying them, and your Booking Fee will be returned to you. 2. Notify the property of your intention to cancel prior to 1 August or 28 days before your Tenancy Start Date if your Tenancy Start Date is in any month other than September but more than 7 days after the payment of your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the property sites secure?

Each property 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?

The property 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 the property, 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 property 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 the property 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.

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

Can I bring my car?

Some of their sites have limited parking, including in some cases disabled parking bays. However, as their 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 your site team as soon as possible - any spaces available are likely to be reserved very quickly.

View all Questions (22)

Can I bring pets?

Does the property permit the use of drugs at its accommodation?

What can’t I bring?

I just moved to Stephenson house and I booked a bronze non-en-suite room. I was surprised, the room and kitchen are quite big and comfortable. This place has a common room, a separate study room and a games room. The staff is really helpful and kind. This is affordable and worth the price in just 10 minutes' walking distance from Northumbria University.

5.0

I have lived at Stephenson's house for the last two years, and I couldn’t recommend it more. The rooms were spacious and a great deal for the money you pay for the rooms. The reception team has been the best team I have seen in the last five years of my university life. They were all lovely and helpful with anything that you need help with. Special thanks to the team for helping me out with everything in the last two years. The maintenance team was always quick with any fix you required in your room or even in the communal area. Overall I would rate IQ Stephenson a 10/10
