If you are staying at one of our properties in England, you may have received information about the new Renters’ Rights Act legislation, which came into effect on 1 May. More details are available online by searching for "Renters’ Rights Act 2025."
Residents for the 2025/26 academic year will have received further tenancy-related updates, and we encourage you to check your emails for more information.
For students booked for the 2026/27 academic year or summer stays, your booking remains confirmed and we look forward to welcoming you later this year.
Please note that the Renters’ Rights Act only applies to properties in England and does not affect our accommodations in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
Yes, exemption is granted to purpose-built student accommodation providers (PBSA) who are members of the National Code which includes Homes for Students and its brands.
Outside of the Cooling Off Period, termination of your tenancy agreement will only be authorised if a suitable replacement tenant is found, if any applicable legal notice that applies under current legislation is issued, or if your place at your University or Higher Education Institute is withdrawn.
To apply to be released from this contract if you do not achieve the required grades or your place at university is withdrawn, you must:
-send an email from the email account you booked with to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel your booking, stating your full name, details of the property booked;
-send a letter from your university/college which confirms that the required results were not achieved, or that your place has been withdrawn.
These document(s) must be received by us within 3 calendar days from the date you receive this confirmation.
On receipt of the required documentation, it will be verified, and provided we are satisfied, we will cancel your agreement and process the refund of your deposit in full within 30 days. If it has already been issued to the tenancy deposit scheme at the point of cancellation, they work to their own timeline and we cannot influence the speed of the refund from them.
If you fail to provide the information within 3 days, you will be required to provide 4 weeks’ notice and you will remain liable for any rent due during this notice period.
If you’re still waiting for your exam results, you can still apply for accommodation. First-year students may be released from their tenancy without penalty if their university place is withdrawn due to not meeting entry requirements, or if they choose another university after exceeding expected grades. To cancel, you must email the accommodation team within 3 days of receiving your results (and no later than 28th August) and provide supporting UCAS or university documentation. Once verified, your booking will be cancelled and your deposit refunded in full.
Dual occupancy is available in most rooms larger than 23sqm. Both residents must apply and mention dual occupancy in their application so the rent can be adjusted. The total room rent includes an additional £50 charge, which is then split equally between both occupants unless stated otherwise.
Currus Court do not charge a booking fee. When you accept your room offer, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit to secure your room which is secured with a deposit protection service and refunded at the end of your tenancy.
You can cancel your tenancy within 7 days of booking and receive a full deposit refund, although a £20 charge may apply for refunds to non-UK bank accounts. After this cancellation period or once the tenancy has started, you will remain responsible for the full rent unless a suitable replacement tenant is found and approved. Once the replacement tenant has paid their deposit and rent, your tenancy will end, subject to a £50 contract amendment fee.
Some properties offer car parking spaces for an additional fee. Please contact your property team directly if you would like to arrange or reserve parking.

Rent and fees must be paid according to the payment schedule outlined in your tenancy agreement, with most properties requiring an advance rent payment, deposit or bond, and initial instalments before check-in; move-in is not allowed until all due payments are cleared. Payments can typically be made via bank transfer, debit/credit card, online portals, or approved international payment methods, and instalment options (usually 1, 2, 3, or 4 payments) may be available depending on eligibility and guarantor requirements, while weekly payments are generally not offered. Utilities such as water, electricity, heating, internet, and sometimes contents insurance are usually included in the rent, though students must cover personal expenses like TV licences and may be exempt from council tax by providing the required proof. Missed or late payments can result in reminders, interest charges, late fees, or further action, so students facing financial difficulty or loan delays are encouraged to contact us early for support. International students can normally pay in full or by instalments (subject to guarantor rules), and all payment amounts, deadlines, and accepted methods will be confirmed in the booking documents. For any assistance or to update payment details, please contact studentengage@alpha-way.com.
A deposit or holding fee may be required to secure a booking, with amounts varying by property, and this payment typically converts into a refundable security deposit or is adjusted against initial rent depending on provider terms. Deposits are held safely in accordance with standard deposit protection regulations, often registered with a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme, and cannot be used toward rent unless explicitly stated. The deposit is refundable at the end of your tenancy once your room has been inspected and found to be in good condition, with possible deductions for damage, missing items, cleaning, or unpaid rent; refund timelines usually range from 10–28 days depending on the provider and scheme. If you disagree with any proposed charges, you have the right to dispute them through the relevant deposit protection platform, and our team can assist if needed. In certain cases, properties may require advance rent instead of a traditional deposit; such payments are generally non-refundable but count toward your first rent instalment. For any questions or issues regarding your deposit, please contact studentengage@alpha-way.com.
Cancellations are subject to the individual terms of each property and the conditions outlined in your tenancy or licence agreement. In most cases, bookings become non-refundable after confirmation, except in specific situations such as visa refusal, university place not secured, or other documented exceptional circumstances. Some properties may offer a short cooling-off period (usually 7 days) during which you can cancel for a full refund of your deposit; after this period, deposits and fees are generally non-refundable, and you may remain liable for rent until a replacement tenant is found and approved. Early move-out or cancelling after the tenancy has begun will normally require paying rent until a suitable replacement is secured, along with any admin or re-letting fees charged by the provider. Alphaway is a third-party booking platform and does not control provider decisions; all refund, cancellation, and release outcomes are determined solely by the accommodation provider under their policies and local regulations. For any cancellation request, please contact studentengage@alpha-way.com.
