Students cannot give written notice that they intend to leave their accommodation.

The formal allocation of a room to you will be sent electronically using the email address that you have given on your application form. At this time you will be required to accept the allocation electronically and will be given a deadline for acceptance to be made.

By completing this acceptance you will be forming a contract for the room and will have a seven day cooling off period from the date that you accept the allocation. The contract is then binding under English Law and you will be bound by the terms and conditions with the contract. This is a fixed term agreement and there are no notice arrangements for you to break the contract.

Postgraduate students who wish to complete their course work elsewhere will not normally be released from their accommodation agreement. Those students who wish to complete their dissertation away from Essex will remain liable for the rent until the end of the tenancy.
