    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.
