House Policies
Cancellation Policy
Signing a contract with us is legally binding and means you’re financially responsible for all accommodation costs within and related to your contract. Once you sign your contract with us, you can only be released from your contract if one of the following two options is fully satisfied:
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
iv. paid any reasonable charges that are ascertained during an inspection of the flat and room at the end of your tenancy period
v. the new tenant has paid all deposits owed and any rent owing on the room
vi. the new tenant has signed a tenancy agreement with us for a period that is equal to the rest of your fixed term
vii. the new tenant has provided all documents required including guarantor information if applicable
If your tenancy has started and you have occupied the Room, you will be charged £50.00 to cover our costs of preparing the Room for the replacement Tenant.
The above two options are the main situations on how you can cancel your contract. They do however appreciate that factors outside of your control can impact your study plans, so They also have the below ‘special circumstances’ scenarios on how you can cancel your contract with us if you meet all the necessary conditions listed.
1st Year Guarantee:
What does this mean?
o If you’re going into your 1st year of study, but unfortunately do not achieve the required grades for your course, you will be released from your contract with us providing They receive a cancellation on your portal account with attached official results evidence within 48 hours of your results being submitted
Who is eligible for this?
o Students entering their 1st year of university (Foundation or Undergraduate only)
o If you have already studied a Foundation year, and apply to live with us for your 1st year, this “1st Year Guarantee” wouldn’t apply to you unfortunately as you would have already studied for one year (so technically would be undergoing your 2nd year of study overall)
How and when do I submit the cancellation request and evidence?
o If you match the eligibility above and you unfortunately didn’t achieve the grades for your course, please follow and complete the below with 48 hours of you receiving your results:
• Log into your portal account, click “Your Requests” and select “Cancellation”
• Complete the request and type in the relevant details, then please attach your failure of achieving grades evidence to your request
What evidence can I use?
o UCAS letter or account screenshot showing your full name and course name, alongside details of not achieving the necessary grades for the course (all details to be on the one same letter or screenshot)
o College/university letter showing your full name and course, alongside details of not achieving the necessary grades for the course (all details to be on the one same letter)
If They were able to release you from the contract due to this criteria being met, any deposit or rent payments already made will be refunded in full.
International Students:
What does this mean?
o If you’re an international student and require a VISA for the study but your VISA application is unfortunately denied, then you’re able to cancel your contract with us as long as your contract hasn’t yet started. You will need to submit your cancellation request on your portal account and attach supporting evidence to it, all before your contract starts
Who is eligible for this?
o International students who are needing to travel to the UK for their studies
How and when do I submit the cancellation request and evidence?
o If you match the eligibility above and your VISA application is unfortunately denied for your study, please follow and complete the below before your contract starts:
• Log into your portal account, click “Your Requests” and select “Cancellation”
• Complete the request and type in the relevant details, then please attach your failure of receiving a VISA evidence to your request
What evidence can I use?
o Letter of confirmation of your VISA rejection showing your full name and rejection details (all details to be on the one same letter)
o College/university letter showing your full name and course name, alongside details of failing to gain a place on the course (all details to be on the one same letter)
If They were able to release you from the contract due to this criteria being met, any deposit or rent payments already made will be refunded in full.
Please see further notes listed below that are still applicable to the above cancellation policy:
If you do not meet and satisfy any one of the above cancellation situations (3 Day Cooling Off Period, Replacement Tenant or Special Circumstances), then you will remain liable for all rent and fees associated with your contract
If the Sales team review your situation and are able to release you from the contract as you met any of the cancellation scenarios listed above (by meeting all of the conditions listed), then you will receive a refund of any deposit or rent payments made
If however your tenancy has started and you have occupied the room, a £50.00 fee will be charged to cover the preparation costs for the replacement tenant. You will also be charged for the period of stay you are in contract for, before you are cancelled
Frequent Asked Question (FAQ's)
What payments do I need to make when applying?
When applying to live with Dwell, there are no fees to pay. This makes it easier for you to book your perfect dwell room.
When do I pay my tenancy deposit?
Once you have applied, our Sales Team will look through your application, check to find you the best room available and send you a ‘Room Offer’ email. After you have signed your AST (contract), you will be asked to pay a tenancy deposit, so please have your bank card to hand when accepting your Room Offer.
Is my deposit protected?
Once you have paid your tenancy deposit, we have 30 days to protect this under a Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The scheme dwell use is called My Deposits.
What is a guarantor? Do I need one?
If you’re paying ahead for the full year, you don’t need a UK guarantor.
However, if you wish to pay your rent by installments, you will need a UK-based guarantor who is aged 21 or over and in full time employment. They’ll also need to annually earn at least 3 times your total rent amount, or be a homeowner.
Your guarantor must agree to pay the rent should you default on your payment. Providing a guarantor is common practice in the UK and provides us with the security and knowledge that the rent will be paid in full and on time.
If you cannot provide a qualified UK guarantor, you can contact Housing Hand to provide you with the Guarantor Service. Housing Hand specializes in dealing with International Students who cannot provide a Guarantor in the UK.
Can I live with my friends or specify preferences for my flatmates?
Of course! Just state your friend’s names on your application, with them doing the same too. You can also say if you have a preferred gender or year of study for your flatmates. We’ll try our best to meet your preferences but it’s not always guaranteed and is subject to availability.
Can I bring my pet?
You’ll unfortunately have to leave your beloved animals at home – we have a no pet policy across all of our sites.
What is included in my rent?
All inclusive utility bills, Wi-Fi and contents insurance are all included in your rent.
