Cancellation Policy related to bookings:-
A. COOLING-OFF PERIOD

If you decide to cancel your accommodation booking within these 3 days, Property will arrange a full refund of your deposit and/or any payments you have made.

If you book your accommodation on or after 1 August 2025, your cooling off period will reduce to 24 hours only from the point you accept it. If you do cancel your booking within these 24 hours, Property will arrange the return of your full deposit and/or any payments you have made.

Please note that if you check in to your accommodation and collect the keys during the cooling-off period, the cooling-off period will immediately and automatically end at the point you accept the keys.

B. CANCELLING AFTER COOLING-OFF PERIOD HAS EXPIRED

If you wish to terminate your tenancy agreement after the cooling-off period has expired, there are some circumstances where you may be able to be released from your tenancy, e.g. if you can evidence that you are not/are no longer a student at university. In other cases, you may need to find a replacement tenant.

Please read the sections below and check whether any of the situations described apply to you.

To submit a cancellation request, please send an email or letter directly to your Property Team with supporting evidence as set out below.

The end of the academic year, or the conclusion of any examination period, does not qualify for release from the tenancy and tenants will remain liable for the full tenancy period in their tenancy agreement.

The replacement person must be a student and match the preferences of the accommodation (e.g. female-only flat), and you must not have any rent arrears. Also, an existing resident/an individual who has a completed 2025/26 room booking with Property Manager cannot be used as a replacement person.

A TENANCY TAKEOVER FEE OF £50 WILL APPLY. This fee is non-refundable and covers the costs associated with changing your tenancy agreement.

The replacement person must sign a contract for the entire length of your tenancy agreement and secure this with payment of the deposit. If a replacement person is found, you will be released from your tenancy agreement from the start date of the replacement person’s tenancy period, provided that the replacement person has signed their tenancy agreement and any applicable cooling-off period has expired. Property Manager will also return your deposit (minus any deductions relating to unpaid rent and/or to the condition of your room/flat upon your departure). PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL REMAIN LIABLE FOR THE RENT UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT PERSON HAS SIGNED THEIR TENANCY AGREEMENT AND PAID THE DEPOSIT, ANY APPLICABLE COOLING-OFF PERIOD HAS EXPIRED AND THEIR TENANCY PERIOD HAS STARTED.
