Policies and contracts

When you accept a tenancy agreement for our accommodation you will be agreeing to a legally binding contract, as would be the case with any lettings agent. Some of our halls of residence are owned or operated by third parties. Tenancies for these halls are subject to specific terms and conditions which differ from those of our university-managed residences. 

Once you have digitally signed your accommodation contract with us, please note that you will have entered into a fixed-term legally binding financial agreement. If you do not wish to commit to the contract and its associated terms and conditions including the dates the contract covers, please do not confirm your acceptance of the agreement. It is not possible to cancel your accommodation contract or the dates it covers if you change your mind later even if you choose not to move in.
