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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
