1) 3 Day Cooling Off Period:
o You signed your contract on or before 31st July 2025 and you submit a Cancellation Request via your dwell portal account under the “Your Requests” tab, within your 3-day (72 hours, including weekends) cooling-off period of signing your contract. It would then need to be accepted by our team
o If you request to cancel more than 3 days (72 hours) after signing your contract, or you sign on or after 1st August where a cooling off period is not applicable, then you will not be cancelled until a replacement tenant is found as outlined below
2) Replacement Tenant Found:
o You first submit a Cancellation Request via your dwell portal account under the “Your Requests” tab, you find a suitable replacement tenant for your room (by entering your replacement’s full name and dwell ID in your cancellation request), and the requirements of Clause 9 in your contract are met

The Grafton FAQs
When applying to live with Dwell, there are no fees to pay. This makes it easier for you to book your perfect dwell room.
Once you have applied, our Sales Team will look through your application, check to find you the best room available and send you a ‘Room Offer’ email. After you have signed your AST (contract), you will be asked to pay a tenancy deposit, so please have your bank card to hand when accepting your Room Offer.
Once you have paid your tenancy deposit, we have 30 days to protect this under a Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The scheme dwell use is called My Deposits.
