Past this, you are responsible for finding a suitable replacement (a student not already living at the property, who is attending a full time course). Until a suitable replacement is found you are liable for the payments that fall due as part of your Residence Agreement. Once you’ve found a replacement you will have make a £350 payment to cover the administration costs and for us to prepare the room for the new student. We refer students looking for rooms outside of our typical booking periods to this Facebook group.
