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.

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 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>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.

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.

Can I bring my bike?

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.
