-
Medical Grounds – If you cannot occupy the room due to medical grounds you must provide supporting evidence from your doctor.

The site team are not authorised to agree cancellation requests nor will submission of the above mentioned documents guarantee immediate approval. The matter will be referred to head office and the owner of the property before a final decision is made.
Can USL cancel my Reservation?
Universal Student Living reserves the right to cancel a reservation and return the Deposit if:
-
You have not yet completed a tenancy agreement and/or we are unable to provide the accommodation of choice.
Can I Cancel My Tenancy Agreement After I Move In?
An AST is a legally binding agreement. Once signed, you are legally obliged to meet the terms and conditions therein for the duration of the agreement. You cannot cancel your tenancy once it has been signed regardless of occupation. For the avoidance of doubt, if you sign the AST but do not move into the property or decide to vacate early, you are still bound by the terms and responsible for rent for the full duration of the tenancy.
An early release may be considered if;
-
You find a suitable replacement tenant for the remaining period of the original tenancy. You will not be released from your AST until the ingoing tenant has accepted a new AST as per the same terms as the original. For the avoidance of doubt, you remain responsible for all rents until the new AST is in effect and will be released from the obligations thereafter.
-
You enter a new tenancy agreement with Universal Student Living Limited for a different room but for the same tenancy period.
