Updates to Policy

For the 2020/21 academic year starting this September, property now offers a flexible start date in line with when your university reopens its doors. This means that if your university decides to postpone the start of your 2020/21 year, property will amend the start of your tenancy without any penalties or additional costs.

How does it work?

• Book your room as normal for the 2020/21 academic year starting in September.

• If your university postpones its academic starting date, simply let us know.

• Property will agree a new start date for your tenancy in line with when your university academic year begins. You'll only pay when your new tenancy starts!

What we need from you?

All you'll need to do is tell us if your university has delayed the start of your 2020/21 academic year to 12th October 2020 or later*. You'll need to provide proof of some sort, such as an official email or statement from your respective institution.

Once verified, we can then agree on a new start date with you for when you'd like to move into the Property..

Who's eligible?

Anyone looking to stay for the academic year starting September 2020 is eligible. Those who have already booked a room with us are also eligible and would just need to notify us of any changes to their university starting date.
