Can I move rooms if I do not like where I am allocated?
We have a room move procedure to review monthly any requests from students who
wish to swap rooms. It is not guaranteed that we will be able to offer you an alternative
room however where possible we will facilitate a swap with another student.
If you wish to request a swap please complete the Room Swap request form here.
Please note there is a £50 administration fee per student for each successful room
move.
If I leave my accommodation before the end of the licence do I still have to pay?
If you leave before the end of your licence you will remain liable for the full years rent
unless a suitable replacement is found for your room. We can add you to our seeking
replacement list, once you have completed a Vacating Residence form here, however it
is your responsibility to seek your own replacement. We advise that you advertise your
room on Gumtree, Unipol, Facebook, StuRent and Accommodation for students. If you
wish to discuss this process in more detail, please contact our accommodation team on
