Cancellation Policy 24/25 – Allied Student Accommodation Ltd

You can cancel your booking by sending an email directly to the accommodation team within 14 days of signing your tenancy agreement. Should you decide to cancel your reservation within these 14 days you will receive a full refund of the deposit amount paid.

If you decide to cancel your reservation after the 14-day cooling-off period and should any of the following events occur; the below process will come into effect.

If you secure your accommodation and Government travel restrictions prevent you from travelling to the UK to enroll on your course at university, official written evidence from the chosen higher education provider confirming that you have cancelled your studies and will not be enrolled at the University for 24/25 academic year must be sent to the accommodation team prior to your tenancy start date. Once sufficient evidence provided, you will be eligible to cancel your tenancy agreement and a full deposit returned to you.

You may request that the start date of your tenancy be deferred to the first day of the month in which the restrictions are lifted and you are able to travel to the UK. Your request will need to be submitted to the accommodation team prior to the tenancy start date. Once sufficient evidence is provided to the accommodation team, we will amend your tenancy start date and send you confirmation of this.

The replacement tenant must sign the tenancy agreement for the entire length of the tenancy. A deposit will also be payable. If a replacement tenant is found and deemed suitable by the accommodation team, you will be released from your contractual agreement and Allied Student Accommodation will return your deposit in full.

Please note that should any accommodation fees remain outstanding, or any damage has occurred to the property your deposit will be retained until any charges payable are settled.

For reservations made on or after 01st August 2024, your cooling-off period will reduce to 48 hours only from making your reservation.

Should you wish to cancel after 48 hours the above policy may apply depending on personal circumstances. A loss of deposit may occur.
