If your visa application is not approved, please provide the relevant proof of refusal to the property at your earliest convenience. Ensure that the documentation is submitted within 48 hours of receiving the decision and no later than 7 days before your tenancy start date.

They will only accept official written confirmation of the visa decision. Missed Deadlines: If the required proof isn’t provided by the deadlines, they will apply the usual cancellation terms, and you’ll remain responsible for any rent charges. Refund Process: Once they will receive and verify the visa rejection proof within the specified timeframe, they will cancel your booking and refund any rent payments in full within 28 working days. Pending Visa Applications: If your visa status is still pending within 7 days of your tenancy start date, let them know. They will do their best to hold your room, though this will depend on availability and their team’s discretion.

If you’ve already moved in, you’ll be liable for rent from the tenancy start date until an agreed release or cancellation date. 4.
