Once your Tenancy Agreement is accepted, up to the 31st July we operate a 72 hour “cooling off” period. To cancel your booking you need to email the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of signing your Tenancy Agreement. From the 1st August the “cooling off” period is reduced to 24 hours. 

Once the “Cooling Off” period has expired, you can cancel your booking if: 

• You do not have a visa to enter the UK 

• You have not acquired the grades to be offered a place at the chosen university 

• You have failed to achieve the grades to continue your study at university 

In these circumstances, you can cancel your booking prior to the tenancy start date by providing evidence to the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of being notified. To cancel your booking under these circumstances, please send your UCAS notification/ Visa refusal documentation to the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of receiving it. 

In addition, you may cancel your tenancy agreement prior to the tenancy start date if Covid-19 related travel restrictions prevent you arriving at the accommodation / being able to travel to the UK to take up occupation of your accommodation. Written evidence from the World Health Organisation or Government of your country of origin must be submitted to the Accommodation Manager within 72 hours of the restriction being put in place. 

It may be possible with the Landlord’s agreement to transfer your obligations to someone else who would be eligible to live at the property. This arrangement is known as a Tenancy Takeover. Once the new person has signed and accepted to take over all your obligations are you then released from your obligations to pay the rent and other terms of the Tenancy Agreement. 

Guarantors 

Applicants will be required to nominate a guarantor who must accept the role and will be responsible for paying the rent and all other obligations as set out in the Tenancy Agreement in the event you fail to do so. If full payment is made up front and the tenant will be over 18 years old at the commencement of the Tenancy Agreement a guarantor will not be required. The guarantor needs to be able to fulfil the obligations under the Tenancy Agreement and is usually a parent or guardian but under no circumstance can they be another tenant living in a property managed by Fresh. 

Refunds All refunds are paid into a UK bank account free of charges. There is a charge for paying refunds via IBAN into an international bank. The fee for paying into an international bank account will be deducted from the refund.
