How is a booking secured?

By signing the tenancy agreement (tenant and guarantor if required) and landlord countersigning, after which the contract becomes legally binding.

Can I book without a guarantor?

Yes, by paying full rent in advance due on 1 August 2026. If not paid and no guarantor is provided, the booking may be cancelled.

What are the signing deadlines?

Must be signed within 5 days, or 2 days if booked after 1 August 2026. If not signed in time, the booking may be cancelled without penalty. Once signed and countersigned, rent is payable even if not moving in or leaving early, subject to exceptions.

What are the payment terms?

First instalment is due on 1 August 2026, with all further payments due as stated in the agreement. Rent is a legal obligation and not dependent on funding.

Is a monthly payment allowed?

Possible for students on a monthly bursary, but must be requested and approved under the tenancy terms.

Key legal conditions?

The contract becomes binding after countersignature. Tenant and guarantor remain liable for rent, including if not moving in or leaving early, unless exceptions apply. All negotiations are subject to contract.
