Cooling Off Period

For AY 25-26 & AY 26-27:- Cancelling within the Initial Cancellation Period (‘Cooling Off Period’) You can cancel your tenancy agreement for up to 7 calendar days after the date of the booking, which is known as the Initial Cancellation Period, or ‘Cooling Off Period’. Providing your booking is cancelled within this Initial Cancellation Period, we will refund your full security deposit. Please note, refunding the deposit after cancelling the booking may take a number of weeks depending on where it is up to in the process of securing it with the tenancy deposit scheme, and we cannot influence the speed of this refund. Cancelling after the Initial Cancellation Period (‘Cooling Off Period’) If a tenant wishes to cancel the booking after the Initial Cancellation Period (‘Cooling Off Period’) has passed, the tenant remains liable for the rent for the whole length of the contracted tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let. IMPORTANT: Property management is under no obligation to enter into a Tenancy Agreement with any replacement tenant that is suggested by any existing tenant, or its representative or agent under this provision. Rooms that are re-let to a new tenant will be at the current market rate, and not necessarily at the rate the room was previously sold at. While we will always do what we can to assist, it is not the obligation of Property management or the landlord to find a replacement tenant to take over the tenancy. If a suitable tenant is found and the room is re-let, we will refund the security deposit, less any appropriate charges, as well as a deduction of £50 for the variation of the contract.

IMPORTANT: Property management is under no obligation to enter into a Tenancy Agreement with any replacement tenant that is suggested by any existing tenant, or its representative or agent under this provision. Rooms that are re-let to a new tenant will be at the current market rate, and not necessarily at the rate the room was previously sold at. While we will always do what we can to assist, it is not the obligation of Property management or the landlord to find a replacement tenant to take over the tenancy. The tenant is responsible for ensuring the room is suitable to be re-let, and it must be in the same clean and lettable condition as it was when the tenant took occupation and that it is available for viewings to allow it to be re-let. If a suitable tenant is found and the room is re-let, we will refund the security deposit, less any appropriate charges, as well as a deduction of £50 for the variation of the contract. No £50 charge will be made for tenancies coming to an end after any applicable legal notice period that applies under current legislation and the deposit will be refunded. Please note, £20 will be deducted from the refunded amount to cover international bank charges for deposit refunds made to non-UK banks. The deposit paid is non-transferable and cannot be moved to another tenant, or to another year. The ‘Cooling Off Period’ must have passed, or the new tenant have paid their rent and moved into the accommodation before the original tenant is released from their contractual obligations under the tenancy agreement. If the new booking is cancelled by the replacement tenant during their 7 day Initial Cancellation Period, the existing tenant remains liable for the rent until another replacement tenant is found.

Recycling

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

Management want to do their bit to protect the world, and they’re sure you want to do your bit too, so to make being eco-friendly easy for you they’ve provided recycling and refuse bins throughout your accommodation and they encourage all students to use the facilities provided to recycle waste where possible.

You should make sure that you empty packages completely and give them a quick rinse before you recycle them. Below you can find examples of what you can recycle and what goes in the different bins.

Be aware that if you put things in the wrong bin, it will contaminate the whole waste load which means that they cannot send that waste to be recycled. So, please take an extra couple of seconds to put things in the correct bin so they can help divert as much waste from going to landfill as possible.

Almost anything made of glass can be recycled, so make sure you put items like glass bottles and jars in the right bin and do not recycle broken glass or light bulbs. Anything that does not feature a recycling label must be put in the refuse bin. Other items that are not recyclable include: batteries, electrical appliances, kitchen waste, polystyrene, foam and sanitary products.

What can be recycled?

Plastics
Plastic cups and lids
Milk bottles
Takeaway containers
Plastic bottles such as water, shampoo or sauce bottles

Process was very easy

Living at The Green for a year has been a great experience overall. It’s only a five-minute walk from the university, which makes getting to classes and meetings super easy.There are different types of rooms and houses to choose from, depending on your budget and what you’re looking for. I stayed in a townhouse, and the kitchen in those houses was really spacious, which was also perfect for having friends over. The Green management team has always been very responsive to any complaints or maintenance issues, and they try to help make your experience living in the accommodation as pleasant as possible. What I love most about The Green is how clean and well-kept it is. The area has a nice, peaceful vibe with lots of trees, a pond with ducklings, and a generally relaxing atmosphere. It’s been a great place to live!

I love my experience so much! The room is very comfortable, I live in an apartment, and it's amazing because I have a bathroom to myself and everything you would need in the kitchen/common room. Also, I would love to mark the reception. That is so nice to help us with anything, whether I need to collect my parcel or to ask for a duvet!
