Can I book for September?
Yes, Abodus is open, housing students from across the globe and whilst we appreciate you may not be able to attend a viewing in person, we can arrange skype viewings and many of our locations have virtual tours – see our website.
Many of you will be awaiting more information on what is happening with exam results, Visas and future international travel restrictions as a result of Covid-19 measures, however with Abodus you can book with total confidence.
We operate a 7 day “cooling off” period after you have secured your room with a paid deposit and signed contract.
We also offer you the ability to cancel your tenancy at the earliest reasonable opportunity, and in any event at least 72 hours prior to the move in date, if you have not secured your grades, obtained a suitable visa, or are experiencing extenuating circumstances e.g. ill-health, family circumstances or travel restrictions imposed by the UK Government / your government which mean that you will be unable to attend University for 20/21 academic year.
Can I cancel my booking?
If you have booked for September 2020, our standard cancellation policy applies. We have also now updated our policy to make allowances for how COVID 19 has impacted our lives.

What if my course start date is delayed during the first semester for 2020/21? What happens with my contract?
We are in constant communication with all of our university partners, and there is nothing to suggest that the 2020/21 academic year will be delayed at this stage. If your term date is delayed for the first semester, we will simply update the start of your accommodation contract in line with your deferred University start date, if that is what you wish or require.
How do I defer my contract?
