Cancellation Policy

1 Cancellation cooling off period(s) 

If you choose to cancel your booking with Cloud Student Homes, you have 7 calendar days after signing your AST to do so. If you made your booking fewer than 7 calendar days before your AST start date you may cancel your booking up until the day prior to your tenancy start date, without incurring penalty. You may request to cancel your booking by contacting your property management team. Cloud Student Homes will refund your deposit within 10 working days of accepting your cancellation. International bank transfers can take longer to process funds and incur a transfer fee.  

2 Cancellations after the cooling off period(s) 

Any requests outside the above period will require you to find a student to replace you, who in turn will need to complete the AST and paid their deposit via StuRents. Once they have passed the 7 day cool off period you will be released from the tenancy
