Ability to cancel your contract
When you book a room in University of Greenwich halls of residence, you are required to sign an Accommodation Licence Agreement. The licence includes the following clause allowing you to cancel for any reason up to three weeks before the start of your contract.
6. Cancellation / Termination of Licence Agreement
6.1 Before the start date of the Licence Agreement, the Resident is permitted to cancel the Licence Agreement under the following circumstances:
- The Resident will be released from the Licence Agreement without financial obligation provided they notify Accommodation Services in writing via the cancellation link within the Accommodation Portal or via email at least 3 weeks (21 days) before the start date of the Licence Agreement that they no longer require the Accommodation. The Resident must ensure they receive confirmation from Accommodation Services that the Licence Agreement has been cancelled.
- If notice of cancellation is received from the Resident after the 3-week notice period, Accommodation Services will mitigate any loss payable by the Resident in respect of the Accommodation by making reasonable endeavours to find a replacement to occupy the Accommodation. All or some of the deposit may be applied towards payment of accommodation fees until a replacement is found for the Accommodation.
