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

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

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
