If you do that, we will make no charge and will return your Security Deposit to you within 21 days.
2. Provided the 7 Day Cooling-Off-Period has expired, you will have to pay all amounts due under your Tenancy Agreement unless a replacement Tenant is found for your Room or you enter into a new Tenancy. If a replacement Tenant is found for your Room before your start date, we will release you from your Tenancy Agreement on the date seven days after the new Tenant’s Tenancy Agreement is signed. If a replacement Tenant is found for your Room after your start date, we will release you from your Tenancy Agreement from the start date of the replacement Tenant's new Tenancy Agreement. If you have occupied the Room prior to this, you will be charged £50.00 to cover our costs of preparing the Room for the replacement Tenant.
3. No Place No Pay (applicable to 1st year students only) - If you are a prospective first year undergraduate student and your offer of a place at your preferred University/Higher Education Institution is withdrawn by the University/Higher Education Institution as a result of you not achieving their required entry grades, you may be eligible to be released from this agreement. You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first year undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different University because you have exceeded your expected grades. To apply to be released from this agreement in the circumstances referred to above, you will need to supply us with a copy of:
1. A written rejection letter from your chosen university/college or UCAS or a screen shot of your UCAS status which confirms that the required results were not achieved; or
2. A copy of the proof of acceptance of your new university by UCAS adjustment. These document(s) must be received by us within 7 calendar days from the date your results are published.

3. DENIED VISA CANCELLATION - if you are denied a VISA and as a result cannot enter the UK to partake in your University degree, then you can cancel your booking with no obligation to the contract, so long as evidence of the VISA denial is sent to us within 7 days of the letter/correspondence date.

Contract alterations will only be considered if supporting evidence is provided in the form of a letter from the University to us and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Frequent Asked Question (FAQ's)
Who is eligible to book with Axo Student Living?
Any full time student can live with AXO.
What happens if I chnage my mind after booking the room?
You have a 14 day ‘cooling off’ period from the point you pay your deposit as long as the 14 days lapse before the tenancy start date. Once the tenancy has started, you are not able to cancel.
If after the tenancy has started you want to leave, you will need to find a replacement to take over your room. We can advise you with this. Just speak to reception if this is something you require.
What is a deposit protection scheme?
By law, if you pay a deposit to your landlord or letting agent then they must protect it in a government-authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme. It applies to all landlords and agents in England and Wales who have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement (the contract) with their tenant.
It was introduced to ensure that you are able to get your deposit back from your landlord or agent when you move out.
How many instalments can I pay with?
Students with a UK based guarantor can pay in up to 3 instalments.
Students without a UK based guarantor are required to pay in 1 instalment.
Students without a UK based guarantor can pay in up to 3 instalments if they use a qualifying guarantor service
Are the room pictures on the website exact, the room I would receive?
The room pictures on the website are only indicative of the room type and not of the actual room you may be allocated. The reason for this is firstly we have so many rooms across the country, that it is not possible to put an image of every single room. Secondly, we receive many room preference requests from students i.e. female only, postgraduates only etc that we must wait until close to check in to allocate an exact room to make sure we do our best to meet resident requests. However – you will be allocated the room type you have selected.
WillI get a chance to meet new people and make friends at AXO?
Yes, definitely! As part of our AXO Life program, we run an extensive events calendar across all our sites. An aim of this program is to allow residents to meet each other and make new friends.
How do I prove I am exempt from Council Tax when I move into Kingston Plaza?
Full-time students in the UK are exempt from Council Tax while staying at Kingston Plaza. Council Tax is usually already exempt and included in your rent. If required, you can download a Council Tax Exemption Certificate from your university and submit it to your local council. If you’re unsure, your UniAcco property team can guide you through the process.
