Big rooms but kitchens are too small for 7 people to share

Dave was extremely accommodating towards us and told us many times that the important thing to him was that we found a place that was right for us; he was not pressuring us to buy.
Payments
Tenancy Deposit: Your Tenancy Deposit of £150 is due 9 days prior to your tenancy start date and is refundable at the end of your tenancy, less any deductions for damages or charges due.
Tenancy Agreement: A sample Tenancy Agreement can be viewed on your chosen location's page of the website. Once you have made your booking, we allow 5 days for your Tenancy Agreement to be signed. If the agreement is not signed during this period, your booking may be cancelled. The signed Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding agreement and you or your guarantor are bound to pay the rent in full even if you do not move into the property or if you leave the property early. From the 1st August prior to the new academic year you only have 2 days to sign your Tenancy Agreement.
Payment Due Dates: The first instalment and Tenancy Deposit are respectively due 10 and 9 days before your stated tenancy start date. The subsequent instalments are due on 03 October 2020, 09 January 2021 and 09 April 2021.
Full Payment Discount: If you pay your full annual rent in advance of your tenancy start date you can receive a 2% discount. If you would like to take up this discount you will need to contact the team at your chosen accommodation. The discount will be applied to your account prior to you making payment via the online portal. If full payment is not received by the start of the tenancy, the 2% discount will be withdrawn. The Full Payment Discount is not available to semester or short term lets.
House Policies
Cancellations:
If the booking is cancelled by the applicant prior to it being countersigned, the Advance Rent payment will be returned.
Once the booking is countersigned, we offer a 72 hour “cooling off” period so if circumstances change, the tenant can
cancel the booking subject to having not moved into the property.
From the 1st August 2024 the “cooling off” period is reduced from 72 to 24 hours after the booking is countersigned.
To cancel the booking during the cooling off period, please email the Residents’ Team within 72 / 24 hours of being
sent the ‘Lease Agreement Executed’ email. The tenant will then be refunded the advance rent payment. NB. This may
take up to 10 working days to reach your account.
Once the “Cooling Off” period has expired, the tenant can cancel the booking prior to the tenancy start date if:
• You do not have a visa to enter the UK.
• You have not acquired the grades to be offered a place at the chosen university.
• You have failed to achieve the grades to continue your study at university.
In these circumstances, please provide evidence (UCAS notification/ Visa refusal documentation) to the Residents’
Team within 72 hours of being notified. Once we receive this, we will confirm receipt of your request to cancel and
refund your full Advance Rent.
There are no other circumstances under which we will accept a request for a cancellation either before or during the
tenancy.
It may be possible to agree a tenancy surrender with the Landlord on the condition that you find someone to take up a
new tenancy with the Landlord for remaining term you no longer wish to have your tenancy for. The Landlord may
exercise the right to amend or vary the terms of the tenancy agreement that the new contract holder enters into,
including amending the rent to be charged to the current market rate for the accommodation. If you find a replacement,
we will need to do some basic checks to confirm their eligibility to enter into the contract.
Before we will accept the new tenant, your account and all obligations need to be up to date and any rent due up to
your tenancy ending will need to be paid. There will also be a charge incurred (please see Fee Schedule for details).
Once the new person has signed the Tenancy Agreement and made the first rent payment they will take responsibility
for future rent payments and all other obligations as stated in the agreement. Until this has happened you will remain
responsible for the payment of rent until the original end date of the tenancy.
Guarantors
All applicants are required to nominate a responsible person to act as a guarantor. The guarantor must be over 18
years of age and cannot be someone who is living with the applicant (other than parents or guardians) or in other
accommodation managed by us.
A guarantor is required to meet all the obligations as set out in the Tenancy Agreement including guaranteeing the
payment of rent if not paid by the tenant and any costs arising from breaches of the tenancy. We will also contact the
guarantor if the tenant has been involved with serious incidents of antisocial behaviour. Should the tenant fall into
arrears or breach any obligations of the Tenancy Agreement, the guarantor will be contacted to ensure the breach is
rectified.
If travel restrictions related to Covid-19 prevent you from travelling to the UK or Ireland for the start of the 2021/22 academic year, and therefore unable to take up your study place at University, you may cancel your accommodation without penalty. Written evidence from the University must be sent by email to the Residents’ Team no later than 10th September 2021 confirming that you are no longer registered as a student with the institution. If you wish to delay your arrival until travel restrictions are lifted, we will amend your Tenancy Start Date in line with your new arrival date. Requests must be made by email to the Residents’ Team of the accommodation booked. We will apply a credit to your account for the period between your original Tenancy Start Date and your new one. All tenancies will start on a Saturday. This offer does not apply if you have taken up an online course with your University.
If travel restrictions related to Covid-19 prevent you from travelling to the UK or Ireland for the start of the 21/22 academic year, and you therefore decide to not take up your study place at University, you may cancel your accommodation without penalty. Written evidence from the University must be sent by email to the Residents’ Team no later than 10th September 2021 confirming that you are no longer registered as a student with the institution.

When done, the rest of the group have 24 hours to register, select 'Join a group booking' and that's it - your perfect flatshare is secured!
Your Tenancy Deposit is payable 10 days before the start of your Tenancy Agreement. The amount varies across our locations so look at each building individually for details. The good news is that you will get the Tenancy Deposit back if nothing is owing for damages or outstanding rent at the end of your stay.
We want you to love your time living with us but there may be times when we don't always get it "right". We take all complaints seriously and will try our best to fix any issues first time.
