The Oldway Centre, Swansea

Advance Rent Contribution Payment
To secure the booking an advance rent payment of £150 will be due at the time of completing the application. This amount is credited against the first rent instalment. Once the Contract Holder is provided with the countersigned Occupation Contract / Written Statement they and the guarantor are fully committed to the contract and all the payments set out in the agreement. The advance rent payment will appear on the payment portal as ‘Advance Rent Payment’.

Damage Deposit
The Damage Deposit of £150 is due on the 1st August 2024 and is refundable at the end of the contract, less any deductions for outstanding charges for damages, rent or other charges. Payment of the Damage Deposit must be made by the Contract Holder directly rather than by any third party on the Contract Holder’s behalf.

 

If the booking is cancelled prior to the Contract Holder being provided with the countersigned Occupation Contract / Written Statement, the Advance Rent payment will be returned.

Once the Occupation Contract / Written Statement has been provided, we offer a 72 hour “cooling off” period so if circumstances change, the Contract Holder can cancel the booking subject to having not moved into the property.

From the 1st August 2024 the “cooling off” period is reduced from 72 to 24 hours after receiving the countersigned Occupation Contract. To cancel the booking during the cooling off period, please email the Residents’ Team within 72 / 24 hours of being sent the ‘Lease Agreement Executed’ email. The tenant will then be refunded the advance rent payment. NB. This may take up to 10 working days to reach your account.

Once the “Cooling Off” period has expired, the Contract Holder can cancel the booking prior to the contract start date if:

• You do not have a visa to enter the UK.

• You have not acquired the grades to be offered a place at the chosen university.

• You have failed to achieve the grades to continue your study at university.

In these circumstances, please provide evidence (UCAS notification/ Visa refusal documentation) to the Residents’ Team within 72 hours of being notified.

Once we receive this, we will confirm receipt of your request to cancel and refund your full Advance Rent.

It may be possible to agree a tenancy surrender with the Landlord on the condition that you find someone to take up a new tenancy with the Landlord for remaining term you no longer wish to have your tenancy for. The Landlord may exercise the right to amend or vary the terms of the tenancy agreement that the new contract holder enters into, including amending the rent to be charged to the current market rate for the accommodation. If you find a replacement, we will need to do some basic checks to confirm their eligibility to enter into the contract.

Before we will accept the new Contract Holder, your account and all obligations need to be up to date and any rent due up to your contract ending will need to be paid.

Once the new person has signed the Occupation Contract and made the first rent payment they will take responsibility for future rent payments and all other obligations as stated in the contract. Until this has happened you will remain responsible for the payment of rent until the original end date of the contract.

• There are no other circumstances under which we will accept a request for a cancellation either before or during the contract.
