How can I leave my room if I’m still in contract?
A tenancy takeover is only possible for contracts that are over 16 weeks, past the first month, and before the last two months of the contract end date. Before you can start setting up a replacement, you’ve got to pay any remaining rent you owe. A cancellation fee will be charged, equal to your booking fee or one weeks’ rent. Other charges may be added.
Once you find a replacement, we’ll need some details before they can set up a contract. Until the new tenant completes their booking, makes payment and collects their keys, you’ll still be liable.
How can I make a complaint?
They try to resolve any complaints internally, but understand there may be times when this is not possible.
How do I cancel my booking?
You notify them of your intention to cancel your booking prior to 1 August or, if your Tenancy Start Date (as defined in your Tenancy Agreement) is in any month other than September, 28 days before your Tenancy Start Date. You notify them of your intention to cancel within 7 days of payment of your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee) and you have not collected your keys. Your UK Visa application has been denied. You have not obtained the required qualifications to get into your first University of choice You are deferring your university entry. Where the reason for cancellation can’t be proved with supporting evidence attached to the cancellation request in line with the above, the student will remain liable for the full contractual rent, unless and until a replacement tenant is found. The student is responsible for finding an eligible replacement tenant, although site staff will assist where possible.
If a replacement tenant is found, once the new replacement tenant has signed their Tenancy Agreement and paid any rent due, the student will be released from the contractual obligations laid out in the Tenancy Agreement. Any overpaid rent money will be refunded, less an amount equal to your Booking Fee (if you have paid a Booking Fee), as a cancellation fee.
