House Policies
Cancellation Policy

1) 3 Day Cooling Off Period:
o You signed your contract on or before 31st July 2025 and you submit a Cancellation Request via your portal account under the “Your Requests” tab, within your 3-day (72 hours, including weekends) cooling-off period of signing your contract. It would then need to be accepted by our team
o If you request to cancel more than 3 days (72 hours) after signing your contract, or you sign on or after 1st August where a cooling off period is not applicable, then you will not be cancelled until a replacement tenant is found as outlined below
2) Replacement Tenant Found:
o You first submit a Cancellation Request via your portal account under the “Your Requests” tab, you find a suitable replacement tenant for your room (by entering your replacement’s full name and ID in your cancellation request), and the requirements of Clause 9 in your contract are met
o They have included a list of requirements below:
i. you find a replacement tenant who has been approved by us as a suitable tenant
ii. the replacement tenant will be charged the rent price of the room at the time of their application/takeover request
iii. you have paid any administration fees owed to us for transferring your tenancy along with any rent owed on the room up to the end of your tenancy period
