2 Agreement#

2.1 When the booking process is complete, a legally binding agreement (also known as a contract) will be formed. The contract will be between (1) the College and (2) the Occupier. Once the Occupier’s contract has been formed, it may only be terminated as set out in these terms and conditions. The booking process is completed when the Occupier has paid the Deposit and the first 28 days’ Accommodation Fees to the College and confirmed their acceptance of these terms and conditions, as long as all these things were done by the acceptance deadline stated in the Offer. The contract will consist of (a) the Offer; (b) these terms and conditions (c) terms laid out in the Members’ Handbook. 2.2 The documents listed in clause 2.1 will constitute the entire agreement between the parties. If any variation to the Offer or these terms and conditions is agreed, The College will confirm the variation to the Occupier in Writing. 2.3 When the contract is formed, the College agrees to provide the Accommodation to the Occupier during the Contract Period and the College agrees to comply with its obligations in these terms and conditions. In return, the Occupier agrees to accept the Accommodation and comply with their obligations in these terms and conditions throughout the Contract Period. 2.4 The Occupier’s contract is personal to the Occupier. The Occupier is not entitled to transfer their contract to anyone else or allow someone else to live in their Accommodation (whether that person shares with the Occupier or replaces the Occupier). The Occupier may sub-let the Accommodation after obtaining the College’s prior Written consent. Consent to sub-let is entirely within the College’s discretion. If the College has permitted the Occupier to share the accommodation, those persons are not permitted to stay in the accommodation past the end of the contract or after the Occupier leaves, if this is before the end of the contract. 2.5 The Accommodation includes the following: 2.5.1 the right to use the Contents in the Accommodation for their intended purpose; 2.5.2 the right (jointly with other residents) to use the Shared Areas allocated to the Accommodation and the Contents in those Shared Areas for their intended purpose; 2.5.3 heating, lighting, water and power supply to the Shared Areas; 2.5.4 heating, lighting, water and power supply to the Accommodation up to the amount typically used on comparable accommodation (but the Occupier must pay the College for any consumption which the College reasonably considers to be excessive); 2.5.5 insurance of the Building and its Contents; 2.5.6 a basic level of insurance cover for the Occupier’s personal belongings (more details available in the Members’ Handbook 2.5.7 reasonable cleaning of the shared areas of the Accommodation 2.5.8 Wi-Fi and Ethernet internet connection;

The Occupier must pay any amounts due for high utility consumption to the College within 14 days of the College notifying the Occupier of the charge or the College may, in its discretion, deduct the cost from the Deposit. 2.6 The Accommodation Fees do not include the following: 2.6.1 electricity charges; 2.6.2 council tax; 2.6.3 payment for use of the laundry; 2.6.4 TV licence fees (you can check if you need a licence at www.tvlicensing.com). 2.7 If a person takes occupation without completing the booking process, they shall be deemed to occupy on the basis of these terms and conditions. They shall be liable to pay the Accommodation Fees normally applicable to the Accommodation from the time they begin occupation until the end of period for which the Accommodation was publicised or offered. Anybody who makes payments on your behalf towards fees or other amounts due from you does so as your agent. You will remain liable for the payment of all sums under these Terms and Conditions. Where applicable, funds will only be returned to you following the end of the contract which will be refunded to the person who originally paid it (unless this is no longer possible and in which case payment will be made to you).

It is agreed that any obligation or restriction on the Occupier in these terms and conditions is also to be performed or observed by the those permitted to share the accommodation. For example, the obligation not to run a business from the Accommodation prevents those sharing the accommodation from doing so.
