What if I sign/signed my contract on or before the 31st July 2021?
Up to and including the 31st July 2021, you can sign your contract but then request to cancel within 3 days of signing your contract. This is known as your 3 day cooling off period (as once you sign the contract and surpass this 3 day period, youre tied into the contract). To inform us that you wish to cancel, you must email us within your 3 day cooling off period. The Team would then check youre within your 3 day cooling off period, and if you are theyd let you know this and would send you a cancellation request form which you must print out, sign by hand and return back to the above email address.
If however you signed your contract on or before 31st July, but you request to cancel outside of your 3 day cooling off period, then you will be tied into the contract until a suitable replacement tenant is found and clause 9.3 in your contract is met. You would however still need to inform us that you wish to cancel, so please email us. The Team would send you a cancellation request form which you must print out, sign by hand and return to the above email address.
What if I sign/signed my contract on or after 1st August 2021?
If you sign your contract on or after 1st August 2021, you will be immediately tied into the contract as they do not offer a cooling off period on or after this date. You will be unable to cancel your booking unless a suitable replacement student is found and clause 9.3 in your contract is met.
When will I be released from the contract?
You will only be released from your contract if one of the below options are met (and youre eligible for that option):
If you emailed us within your 3 day cooling off period to inform that you wish to cancel, and you have provided your signed cancellation request form which has been accepted by us
If a suitable replacement tenant is found and clause 9.3 in your contract is met
If you sign a new contract with us at and you sign the new contract (and surpass the 3 day cooling off period, if applicable)
If a suitable replacement tenant is found for your room (and clause 9.3 in your contract is met) before your contract start date, they will release you from your contract once the new tenant has signed their contract (and surpassed the 3 day cooling off period, if applicable).
However, if a suitable replacement tenant is found for your room (and clause 9.3 in your contract is met) after your contract start date, they will release you from your contract from the date that the new tenants contract starts. This means that youd be liable for the rooms rent up to the date that the new tenants contract starts.
To confirm, once a suitable replacement tenant has been found to take over your contract, there are a number of actions to be completed before they can release you from your contract. This is clause 9.3 as stated in your contract, but weve also included them below:
a replacement tenant has been found who has been approved by us as a suitable tenant
you have paid any administration fees owed to us for transferring your tenancy along with any rent owed on the room up to the end of your tenancy period
paid any reasonable charges that are ascertained during an inspection of the flat and room at the end of your tenancy period
the new tenant has paid any deposit and any rent owing on the room
the new tenant has signed a tenancy agreement with us for a period that is equal to the rest of your fixed term
the new tenant has provided all documents required, including guarantor information if applicable
Failure of a new tenant signing a tenancy agreement for the room and fulfilling all criteria will mean you are liable for all rent on the room until the end date set out in the principals of your contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do they allocate rooms?
What is a guarantor? Do I need one?
However, if you wish to pay your rent in instalments, you will need a UK-based guarantor who is working full-time. Your guarantor must agree to pay the rent should you default on your payment. Providing a guarantor is common practice in the UK and provides them with the security and knowledge that the rent will be paid in full and on time. If you cannot provide a qualified UK guarantor, you can contact Housing Hand to provide you with the Guarantor Service. Housing Hand specialises in dealing with International Students who cannot provide a Guarantor in the UK. To find out more, visit Housing Hand
