Crown Place - Portsmouth

To apply for and book a flat or bedroom at a Collegiate UK managed property, you must pay Advance Rent at the time of booking through our online booking system.

The Advance Rent is set as follows:

• £50 for re-bookers (students already living with us who are renewing).
• £50 for direct let bookings (all new applicants).

You will have 3 days from making your booking to sign your Tenancy Agreement. If you cancel your booking within this 3-day period, your Advance Rent will be refunded in full. If you do not cancel within the 3-day period, the Advance Rent will be retained.

Once your Tenancy Agreement has been signed, the Advance Rent will be credited against your first rent instalment due under your Tenancy Agreement.

To cancel your booking, you must notify us in writing by emailing the property where you made your booking.

Release from your Tenancy Agreement

You may be able to cancel your booking or end your Tenancy Agreement in the circumstances set out below.

Before your tenancy starts

If you do not obtain a place at your chosen university or higher education institution, you may cancel your booking provided that:

• You notify us in writing within 7 days of receiving confirmation that you have not secured your place.
• You provide official written confirmation from the university, UCAS or other relevant admissions authority confirming that you have not been admitted.
• We receive this evidence no later than 30 August.

If these conditions are met, your booking will be cancelled and any Advance Rent and rent paid will be refunded.

If these conditions are met, your booking will be cancelled and any Advance Rent and rent paid will be refunded.

If the alternative accommodation is not suitable, you may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of any Advance Rent and rent already paid.
