If no replacement is found, you remain liable for the full rent until the tenancy ends. Full terms apply as set out in Section 6 of your Tenancy Agreement.
Can I cancel after moving in?
Yes, but only under the same conditions. You remain bound by your tenancy unless a suitable replacement tenant is approved.
Can I do a tenancy takeover?
Yes, if the replacement tenant is at least 18, a full-time student near the accommodation, signs the remaining contract, pays all sums due, and provides a guarantor where required. If not completed within 7 days, you remain responsible for the tenancy and rent.
What if I don’t get a place at university?
You may only be released if a suitable replacement tenant is found and approved, and you provide both a rejection/withdrawal letter and a new acceptance letter from another institution.
