Payment Policy

Rent must be paid according to the instalment schedule outlined in your tenancy agreement. Depending on your booking and guarantor status, you may be able to pay in instalments aligned with academic terms or as a single advance payment. Accepted payment methods typically include debit card, credit card, and bank transfer.

All utility bills, including water, electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, and contents insurance, are included in your rent. Students who experience difficulties making payments are encouraged to contact the accommodation team as early as possible to discuss available options. Failure to make payments on time may result in action being taken in accordance with the tenancy agreement.

Deposit Policy

An Advance Rent payment is required to secure your booking, with the amount varying by property. This payment is deducted from your first rent instalment and is not an additional charge. Your room will only be confirmed once all booking requirements, including signing the tenancy agreement and providing any required documentation, have been completed.

If you are eligible for cancellation under an approved cancellation clause, any refundable advance rent will be returned in accordance with the provider's terms. Failure to complete your booking after paying the Advance Rent may result in some or all of that payment being retained as a cancellation charge.

Cancellation Policy

Bookings may be cancelled before move-in in certain circumstances, including visa refusal, failure to secure a university place, or failure to obtain a required placement year position. Supporting documentation must be provided within 48 hours of receiving the relevant decision. Where approved, any advance rent paid will be refunded in accordance with the provider's cancellation terms.

After your booking has been completed and countersigned, you remain liable for the full tenancy term unless a suitable replacement tenant is found and approved. If you leave early, rent will remain payable until a replacement tenant has signed their agreement, paid the required rent, and moved in. Cancellation requests are subject to provider approval and tenancy terms.
