Booking Details
COVID-19 Cancellation Policy
Currently their standard cancelation policy applies. Prime will however, enable international students to arrive later than the start date of their tenancy agreement in accordance with travel restrictions set by the UK Government on travel into the UK from another country. In this situation, if the travel restriction come into force prior to the start of the tenancy date then students will not be required to pay rent for the period from the start of their tenancy agreement and the date any UK travel restrictions come to an end for travel from the students country of origin. If international students are already residing in the UK at the time of booking and universities operate distance learning for the first term, we would still expect students to take up residence and pay rent for the first term from the start of the tenancy.
Regular Cancellation Policy
1. Unless the Tenancy Agreement has already commenced (meaning the Tenancy Start Date is on or before the date the Tenancy Agreement is dated) you may cancel your Tenancy Agreement (by giving us written notice of cancellation) at any time during the period ending on the date 14 days after the date we confirm your booking is complete (the Initial Cancellation Period). If you cancel the Tenancy Agreement during the Initial Cancellation Period, we will make no charge and will return to you your Security Deposit in full.
2. Outside the Initial Cancellation Period, you will remain liable for the rental monies due under the Tenancy Agreement for the whole of the Tenancy Period or until a replacement tenant (who is satisfactory to the Landlord) is found for your Room. If the Tenancy Agreement is cancelled and a replacement tenant is found after the cooling off period but before the start date of the tenancy, an administration fee of 50 will be charged prior to Prime processing your cancellation and accepting the replacement tenant. If a replacement tenant is found after you have moved in after the start date of your tenancy, an administration/cleaning fee of 150 will be charged prior to Prime processing your cancellation and accepting the replacement tenant. If we confirm to you that a satisfactory replacement tenant has been found for your Room, and the cancellation fee has been paid, we will then release you from your Tenancy Agreement with effect from the start date of the new tenancy agreement with the replacement tenant. The entering into a new tenancy agreement with a replacement tenant will be entirely at the discretion of the Landlord/Management Company.
