University Offers

You may be eligible to be released from your agreement, if you are a first-year prospective undergraduate student and your offer of a place at your chosen University / higher educational institution is withdrawn as a result of you not achieving the required entry grades.

You may also be eligible to be released from your agreement, if you have surpassed your required entry grades and have chosen to go to a different University.

In order to meet these criteria, you will need to provide Xenia Students with the following documents (below) within seven calendar days from the date your results are published. Upon receipt of these documents, they will be assessed and provided Xenia Students are satisfied as to the validity of the documents provided, we will cancel your agreement and refund any security deposit and or/ rent paid.

• A written copy of the rejection letter from your chosen university / higher educational institution
• A screenshot of your UCAS status which confirms that the required results were not achieved
• A written copy of the proof of acceptance to your new university by UCAS adjustment

For clarity contracts will only be relinquished on the set conditions above prior to moving in, all tenants in occupation of a property are subject to the conditions in 3.3. Cancellation requests must be sent to either the local Accommodation Team or admin@universityliving.com.

• You agree to not sublet the tenancy created by the tenancy agreement to anyone without written consent from Xenia Students.
• Any refunds due of pro-rata rent/security deposit will not be paid until the replacement tenant sought (and any associated guarantor) has met the verification process as set out in 1.4 of this document, has signed the tenancy agreement, has paid any funds due for the tenancy and has moved into the accommodation.
• The security deposit will be refunded once the above criteria has been met and an assessment has been made by way of check out inspection for any dilapidations beyond fair wear and tear, damages or arrears.
• A charge of £50 (Fifty Pounds) will be asked for by the exiting tenant for the variation of a tenancy as allowed for under The Tenant Fee Act 2019, Schedule 1 Subsection 6 (Permitted Payments, Payment on variation, assignment of novation of a tenancy). 
• Should you fail to find a replacement tenant to take over your tenancy, you and any associated guarantor will be held responsible under all terms of the contract for the duration of the tenancy agreement.
