Unfortunately, you are committed under the tenancy agreement to pay the full rent.
If you find a new resident, will let you out of your agreement from the day they move in, and refund you any unused rent that you’ve paid in advance (minus a £50 admin fee)*.
Property cannot refund your rent until you have found someone to take over your tenancy agreement, their booking is confirmed and they have paid the first instalment of their rent.

Management try to be as flexible as possible with property payment schedules. Management understand that for most of property residents it is better to make payments when student loans come in termly.
termly payments are usually due in the middle of October, January and April with a small payment due at the beginning of the contract prior to moving in.
You can also pay monthly if that is easier, they just need to let team know before the contract goes out.

Your rent includes the following:
Electricity, Gas (if applicable), water, tv license.
provide the following free of charge:
Broadband, Contents Insurance
Holiday clean (once during Christmas and Easter break)

If you are a student you are exempt from council tax. All the property need is a council tax exemption certificate from your University and the property will apply for the exemption for you.
If you are not a student then you will be liable for the council tax for the property. Often the council tax is demanded from the owners and then the team will invoice this amount from you.
If you are the only non-student in a property with students you are often eligible for a 25% council tax discount.

Management team will then schedule the viewing in and confirm if it can go ahead at that time.

Property ask that you pay a small holding payment to secure your home and take it off the market which acts as a security deposit!
