House Policies

Cancellation Policy AY 24/25:

There is a 7-day cooling off period for bookings made until 31st July, or 48 hours for bookings made on or after 31st July, after which the tenancy agreement is legally binding. This applies to all 23/24 contracts.  

Once you have booked and the cooling off period has elapsed, you are bound into a legal license agreement which requires you to pay the rent for the full license period. If you wish to cancel your booking once 7-days (or 48-hours after the 31st of July) elapse, you will remain liable for the contractual obligations laid out in the Tenancy Agreement unless you can offer proof that you fit any of the following criteria: 

  • You fail to get the results to attend the City and University you selected 
  • Your VISA is declined 
  • You choose to move to another university city where we are yet to have true student accommodation 

In some cases, we’re willing to cancel the booking if a replacement tenant is found who will take on the rent liability. This decision will be made by the management team at their discretion.

True Newcastle Opto FAQs

If you want to be released from your tenancy agreement, licence agreement, or SAT (Scotland) and you do not meet the requirements of a tenancy release, it is your responsibility to find a replacement tenant. The replacement tenant must agree to the existing rent and term conditions of the existing tenant.

If you find a replacement, you will be released from your tenancy from the start date of the new tenancy, however you may be charged to the Friday nearest to this date. You will be responsible for paying a £160 administration fee, paid directly to true.  This fee covers the deep cleaning of the room in the period between you and your replacement, as well as the administration relating to issuing a new contract. 

A tenancy takeover will be deemed complete to the point where a replacement is found when the following criteria are met:

  • The new tenant has paid  any current due rental charge, and this has been confirmed as received by true
  • The new tenant has signed their AST or Licence Agreement
  • The new tenant has confirmed receipt of keys
  • The new Tenant has moved into the building and completed an inventory form. true will not refund any advanced rent payment until all the above criteria are met.
