Providing your booking is cancelled within this Initial Cancellation Period, we will refund your full security deposit.


Please note, refunding the deposit after cancelling the booking may take a number of weeks depending on where it is up to in the process of securing it with the tenancy deposit scheme, and we cannot influence the speed of this refund.


Cancelling after the Initial Cancellation Period (‘Cooling Off Period’)

If a tenant wishes to cancel the booking after the Initial Cancellation Period (‘Cooling Off Period’) has passed, the tenant remains liable for the rent for the whole length of the contracted tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let.


IMPORTANT: Property management is under no obligation to enter into a Tenancy Agreement with any replacement tenant that is suggested by any existing tenant, or its representative or agent under this provision.


Rooms that are re-let to a new tenant will be at the current market rate, and not necessarily at the rate the room was previously sold at.

The tenant is responsible for ensuring the room is suitable to be re-let, and it must be in the same clean and lettable condition as it was when the tenant took occupation and that it is available for viewings to allow it to be re-let.


If a suitable tenant is found and the room is re-let, we will refund the security deposit, less any appropriate charges, as well as a deduction of £50 for the variation of the contract. No £50 charge will be made for tenancies coming to an end after any applicable legal notice period that applies under current legislation and the deposit will be refunded.

This is one of the best student accommodations in Manchester. The place is steal, given how close it is to the Manchester Met University. It's literally a few-minute walk. And if you are a football fanatic and a Manchester United fan, old Trafford is like 2 miles from here. I couldn’t have asked for more, I’ll definitely renew my contract next year.
