Unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions defined in your Common Law Tenancy Agreement shall have the same meanings in this cancellation policy.
Unless the tenancy agreement has already commenced and if you have not collected your key, you may also cancel at any time within the period of fourteen (14) days of the date on which you sign your first tenancy agreement for the 2026/27 Academic Year or Semester (the "Cooling-off Period"). During the cancellation period, you may cancel your tenancy by giving notice in writing or by e-mail to the manager at the property.
Once we receive such a notice, we will confirm receipt, cancel your tenancy, and will refund your advance rent payment, together with any other payment of rent you may have made.

Outside the cooling-off period, you may request to cancel your tenancy by notice in writing or by e-mail to the manager at the property.
However, you shall remain liable for the rent payable under the terms of the tenancy agreement until a suitable replacement tenant has been secured. It is the tenant’s responsibility to find and suggest a suitable replacement. Liability for rent will continue until the replacement tenant has completed their fourteen (14) day cooling-off period.
