International Cancellation Policy:- Once a booking is processed, the student has 7 days to accept the offer. It means for the student and the guarantor to accept the contract and pay the GBP 250 advance rent payment. (For bookings in England only. No Advance Rent Payment is required for bookings in Scotland).Once these steps are done, the booking is completed. If one of the step is not completed within these 7 days, the offer will expire. If the student still wants a room, they can re-process a booking, but they cannot guarantee that the same room or the same price will be available. Once the booking is completed, the student has another 7 days to change their mind and cancel their booking without any reasons. This is called the cooling-off period. Past these 7 days, the student remains liable for the rent for the whole length of the tenancy unless they want to cancel with one of these 3 conditions:
- No Place No Pay: if the student fails their exams or is rejected by the UK University, the student needs to send them the university rejection letter, or proof that the exam results don't meet the requirements of the university, and they will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student.

- No Visa No Pay: if the student doesn't get their visa to come and study in the UK, the student must send them the visa application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and they will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. This policy is valid until the 15th September.

Not unless you have booked to continue staying with them in your room and have a valid tenancy.

A charge may apply if they have to remove any leftover belongings, so please remember to clear everything out when you leave.
Can I leave things in my room if have rebooked for next year?
If you have a valid tenancy covering the time period, then yes you can. They just ask you to label any items in shared areas to confirm that they belong to you and not to someone else who has already checked out. This will help their cleaners. If your booking finishes in june or july and your next tenancy starts in september, you will need to arrange a summer short stay tenancy to bridge the gap.

You need this at the end of your tenancy to authorise the return of your deposit. Your property contacts mydeposits scotland at the end of your tenancy to confirm that you have checked out of your accommodation and advise on the deposit amount due to be refunded to you. This will be the full deposit minus any charges applied after your room has been inspected, or if your tenancy account has any outstanding balance due. Mydeposits scotland will email to tell you that they have started the release process. You have 30 working days from the date of this email to respond to the deposit release request. You will need to enter your release code to access any refund. If you do not respond within this timeframe, mydeposits scotland will return the deposit amount they have advised as due following your check out.
I forgot to put on the inventory that there was some damage when I moved in. Will I be charged?
Possibly yes, this is to be fair and consistent with their approach
