What is the “true booking guarantee” and cancellation policy?

There is a 7-day cooling off period for bookings made until 31st July 2023, or 48 hours for bookings made on or after 31st July 2023, following signature of this Tenancy Agreement, after which the Tenancy Agreement is legally binding (the " Cooling Off Period"). If the tenant were to take occupation within their cooling off period, the Tenancy Agreement would be legally binding from the date of occupation and the cooling off period will end immediately.

When do I need to pay my rent?

Please see our payment dates across all sites for 23/24 here and 24/25 here.

Please note: your rent may be due before the contract begins and the dates may not coincide with student loan dates. This should be taken into consideration when planning your accommodation as late payments may be subject to interest charges and, in some cases, legal action against the resident and their guarantor.

You will be required to pay interest at the rate of 3% above the base rate of Bank of England (calculated on a daily basis) on the unpaid amount of any sum due to true Student which is not received within 14 days of the due date (whether demanded or not and without prejudice to any other remedy) for the period beginning on the due date until the date it is received in cleared funds inclusive of both dates.
