Whether you need to be released from the contract before moving in or during your tenancy, a suitable replacement will need to be found. You will be responsible for the rent/bills until a suitable tenant is secured. Once a new tenant has signed a contract and paid their deposit, we will be able to start the process of returning your deposit (minus any charges) and formally releasing you from the contract. Speak to us and your housemates to explain the situation, we can help to readvertise the property on our website/ Rightmove, but it may help if you speak to the University to see if they can help whilst also mentioning it to friends. We will need to have in writing, confirmation from all housemates that they are happy for the room to be advertised and they will also have to confirm they are happy with the suggested replacement.
