Tenancy deposit

After students have signed their AST (contract), they will be asked to pay a tenancy deposit. The total tenancy deposit to pay for their room is £200, except for those students accepting a room at Castle Gate Haus where they are required to pay a £300 deposit and for 121 Princess Street where the deposit is £500. Please note no deposit is required for contract lengths less than 40 weeks at Garth Heads.

Rent payment

We offer two rent method options:

Option 1 – Full Payment; Pay in full by the 1st of August 2021 and get money off total rent! 2% discount – Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol and Nottingham, and 5% discount- Newcastle.

Option 2 – Pay in 3 different Instalments; September, January, and April – students can view the exact payment dates in their contract (this may be the best payment option for those looking to pay their rent using their student loan). Please note that to apply to pay by installments, students must provide a UK based guarantor who is aged 21 or over and in full time employment. The guarantor will also need to annually earn at least 3 times students' total rent amount, or be a homeowner.

Students can pay their tenancy deposit and rent by

* logging to their portal account and then pay online, or

* pay via bank transfer 

Up to and including the 31st July 2022, you can sign your contract but then request to cancel within 3 days of signing your contract. This is known as your 3 day cooling-off period (as once you sign the contract and surpass this 3 day period, you’re tied into the contract). To inform us that you wish to cancel, you must email us within your 3 day cooling-off period. Our team would then check you’re within your 3 day cooling-off period, and if you are, they’d let you know this and would send you a cancellation request form which you must print out, sign by hand, and return back

If however you signed your contract on or before 31st July 2022, but you request to cancel outside of your 3 day cooling-off period, then you will be tied into the contract until a suitable replacement tenant is found and the replacement is met. You would however still need to inform us that you wish to cancel, so please email us. Our team would send you a cancellation request form which you must print out, sign by hand, and return.

If you sign your contract on or after 1st August 2022, you will be immediately tied into the contract as we do not offer a cooling off period on or after this date. You will be unable to cancel your booking unless a suitable replacement student is found and the replacement is met.

Property is unable to cancel any contract after its start date unless a replacement tenant is found (and the replacement subsection of clause 9 in your contract is met) as detailed above. You’d be liable for the room’s rent up to the date that the new tenant’s contract starts. All cancellation requests should be submitted to your team using the cancellation request form, which you can request from us.

Q. Due to Travel Ban from UK or my home country, can I defer to check in for the academic
     year of 2020/21?
 
Yes.

Q. Can I defer to check in if University has decided to delay the commencement or move to
remote teaching and learning for 2020/21?

 Should there be a delay to the start date of universities, or for the period where the universities are closed and offering online courses, students will be granted a deferment of their contract start date until when the new date of course starts, or when they check in to dwell UK property, whichever occurs earlier. Rent will not be charged during the deferred period. Any rent made for period prior to the new start date will be credited to any future rent payments or partially refunded if you have paid in full.
