this agreement. You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective

For International Students

Past these 7 days, the student remains liable for the rent for the whole length of the tenancy unless
they want to cancel with one of these 3 conditions:

No Place No Pay: if the student fails their exams or is rejected by the UK University, the student needs to send us the university rejection letter, or proof that the exam results don’t meet the requirements of the university, and we will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. The student must send us the proof documents within 7 days of receiving them. This policy is valid until the 15th September.
No Visa No Pay: if the student doesn’t get their visa to come and study in the UK, the
student must send us the visa application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and we
will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. This policy is valid until the
15th September.
No ATAS certificate, No Pay: Some international students coming to the UK to study in very
specific fields need to apply for an ATAS certificate. (Academic Technology Approval
Scheme). If a student’s ATAS certificate application is rejected we will cancel the booking
and refund the money to the student. The student must send us the ATAS certificate application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and we will cancel the booking and
refund the money to the student.
This policy is valid until the 15th September. The cancellation requests along with the proof documents must be sent by the student

Replacement tenant found:

if the student finds a replacement tenant to take over his room with the
same tenancy length and same weekly rate, we can process the booking for the new student, and
once the offer has been accepted by the new student and his guarantor, and that they have paid the
£250 (if applicable), we will release the original student from their contract.
Passed the 15th September, the No Place No Pay and No Visa No Pay do not apply.
The student remains liable for the rent unless they find a replacement.
