If sufficient evidence is provided, you will be eligible for release from the tenancy agreement and the full deposit will be returned.
Alternatively, you may request that the start of your tenancy be put back to the first day of the month in which the restrictions are lifted and you are able to travel to the UK. Please submit your request to the Property Team before the tenancy start date. If sufficient evidence is provided, we will change your tenancy start date to the first day of the month in which the travel restrictions are lifted.

If your University changes the official start date of your face-to-face course to a later date we will put back the start of your tenancy, at no cost to you, to the first day of the month in which your course starts. For example, if the start date of your face-to-face course is changed to 14 November 2020 your new tenancy start date will be 1 November 2020, and you will not be liable for any accommodation fees from your original tenancy start date to 31 October 2020 inclusive.
Official evidence from the University that the course you are enrolled on is a face-to-face course and the start date has been delayed must be sent to the Property Team before the tenancy start date. If sufficient evidence is provided, we will change your tenancy start date to the first day of the month in which your course now commences.
