Cooling Off Period
If you wish to cancel your booking within 14 days of signing your tenancy agreement, you may do so with a full refund, provided you have not yet moved into the property. Cancellations must be submitted in writing to the property team, and you will receive confirmation of your cancellation request. Please note that the holding deposit will be retained by the property.
Replacement Tenant Found
If you wish to cancel your tenancy after the cooling-off period, you may do so by finding a suitable replacement tenant. The new tenant must meet all verification requirements and agree to the terms of the tenancy. The replacement tenant must sign a new tenancy agreement, pay any due sums, and be enrolled in full-time education in the area.
Once the replacement tenant has been verified, signed the agreement, and moved in, your tenancy will be canceled, and any pro-rata rent or security deposit will be refunded, minus a £50 administration fee for the tenancy variation.
If a replacement tenant is not found, you and your guarantor will remain liable for the full terms of the contract.
