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.

Vedant D

Very nice place to live as a student. I stayed in a studio and it was relatively new, especially the furniture and electrical equipment. The room does not get cold even if the temperature is relatively very low outside. Building management people are really sweet and helpful. Located close to two big supermarkets (Sainsbury and Aldi). Also, the Asian store below the building helps a lot.
