Unilife Sparkford House

All tenancy agreements have a cooling off period of 48 hours from the signature of contract. All
cancellation requests must be in writing via an email addressed to the Unilife Team
yourspace@unilife.co.uk
If you have collected your keys within your cooling off period, the eligibility to cancel immediately
ends.
No Place, No Stay:
If a resident does not gain a place at their chosen University or College and wishes to be released
from their Tenancy Agreement, they must provide Unilife with evidence of their rejection and
evidence of the reason why no later than 72 hours after dated correspondence from your University
or College. You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first
year undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different University.
To be considered, you will need to supply us with a copy of:
- UCAS letter of acceptance.
- Written evidence from the University admissions team
If a resident moves into Unilife and they withdraw from their course or they are evicted from
university, they are still liable to fulfil their contract and they must find a replacement tenant to have
their contract withdrawn.

No Visa, No Stay
If a resident does not receive a VISA and wishes to be released from their Tenancy Agreement, they
must provide Unilife with evidence of their rejection to yourspace@unilife.co.uk within 3 working
days of the VISA rejection letter. If the above is received within 3 working days, the resident will be
eligible to have their contract withdrawn and a full refund of pre-rent instalment and deposit.
For all cancellations:
If the tenancy agreement has commenced, a resident is unable to withdraw from their tenancy
agreement free of charge and they must find a replacement tenant to take over their contract. It is
the main tenants responsibility to find a replacement tenant.
Replacement tenant:
If a resident wishes to withdraw from their contract, either before their tenancy has commenced or
during their tenancy and it is not reasons that fall under the ‘No Place, No Stay’ or ‘No Visa, No Stay’,
there is a £100 admin charge that will be applied.
The fee will be deducted from their deposit due back to the original tenant.
Unilife cannot accept any responsibility for finding a replacement tenant once a resident has signed
their tenancy agreement and made the pre-rent instalment.
Once a resident has found a suitable replacement tenant to take over their contract, they must put
the new tenant’s details into writing to yourspace@unilife.co.uk and the Unilife Team will contact
the new tenant within 48 hours to formally transfer the tenancy. Once the new tenant has accepted
the tenancy agreement and made the pre-rent instalment, the original tenant will have their tenancy
agreement withdrawn and the refund will be processed within 14 working days minus £100 admin
charge.
