    • In accordance with the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, letting agents are obliged to sanctions check all applicants and guarantors against the UK’s official sanctions list. If a match is found, or even suspected, agents are legally required to report it to OFSI. We will conduct Sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons and other checks on all applicants, tenants, authorised residents, and guarantors, and making an application, moving into a property, or submitting information to support another person’s application as a guarantor confirms acceptance and grants permission to conduct these searches.
    • Deposits vary by property and your deposit is placed into a deposit protection scheme, where it is held safely throughout the academic year and will be returned to you at the end of your contract subject to the contract terms. For the deposit amount, please see the room page contracts section, under the tenancy price.

      The deposit you pay when making the application cannot be used towards a rent instalment as this is secured with a deposit protection scheme for the duration of your tenancy.

      Your deposit will be returned to you after your tenancy agreement has ended and your room has been inspected. The amount returned to you will depend on any outstanding charges and any damage found in your room or the communal areas of your apartment. Please see your tenancy agreement for more information. The deposit can take up to 28 working days to be credited at the end of your tenancy period.

      All deposits are secured with a deposit protection scheme, such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme or Safe Deposits Scotland. You will be contacted by the deposit protection scheme and asked to authorise the refund and submit your bank details to them. For this you will require your deposit repayment ID, which will have been sent to you via email at the time of registering your deposit.

      Please be aware, the deposit refund process is managed by the deposit protection scheme and is not able to be influenced by EVO Student. Should you have any queries regarding your deposit repayment ID, you should contact the deposit protection scheme directly: Tenancy Deposit Scheme or Safe Deposits Scotland.

      Please note if you ask for your deposit to be repaid to a non-UK bank account, bank charges will apply. All refunds will be processed in GBP (Great British Pounds), and the designated bank account must be able to accept payments in GBP. This policy also applies to any other refunds, such as rental refunds. Please see deposit protection scheme FAQs:
    • EVO Student do not charge a booking fee. When you accept your room offer, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit to secure your room which is secured with a deposit protection service and refunded at the end of your tenancy.

    • If you’re still waiting for your exam results and you’re not sure whether your place at university is confirmed, don’t worry, you can still apply.

      If you are a prospective first year Undergraduate or Postgraduate student and your offer of a place at your preferred University or Higher Education Institution is withdrawn by the University or Higher Education Institution because you do not achieve the required entry grades, you will be eligible to be released from this agreement.

      You must provide written evidence from the University that you do not have a place within 3 calendar days of your results being published (and no later than 28th August, whichever date is sooner). We will release you from the contract without penalty and refund the deposit paid.

      You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first year Undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different university because you have exceeded your expected grades.

      To apply to be released from this agreement in the circumstances referred to above, you must:

      • send an email from the email account you booked with to: [email protected] or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel your booking, stating your full name, details of the property booked;

      • send the written rejection letter from your chosen university/college or UCAS, a screen shot of your UCAS status which confirms that the required results were not achieved, or a copy of the proof of acceptance of your new university by UCAS adjustment.


      These document(s) must be received by us within 3 calendar days (and no later than 28th August, whichever date is sooner) from the date your results are published.

      On receipt of the required documentation, it will be verified and, provided we are satisfied, we will cancel your agreement and process the refund of your deposit in full within 30 days.

      If you fail to provide the information within 3 days, you will be required to provide 4 weeks’ notice and will remain liable for any rent due during this notice period.
    • INTERNATIONAL VISA APPLICANTS ONLY

      Before your tenancy period has commenced:

      Should you fail to be granted your Visa before the tenancy agreement has commenced, you must:

      • send an email from the email account you booked with to: [email protected] or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you have failed to obtain the required Visa and that you wish to cancel the tenancy agreement, stating your full name, details of the property booked; and

      • send the official notification of Visa failure that you have received from UK Visas & Immigration.


      These document(s) must be received by us within 3 calendar days from the date you receive this notification, and MUST be received before 1st September for academic year bookings.

      If this confirmation is not received by this date and your tenancy period has started, you will be required to give 4 weeks notice and liable for the rent from the start of the tenancy, until the end of the notice period.

      Providing we receive the correct documentation in the stated time period, you will be released from the tenancy agreement and your deposit will be refunded.

      After your tenancy period has commenced:

      If your tenancy has already started and you have NOT collected your keys, you will be charged rent from the Tenancy Start Date up to the date you provide evidence that your visa has been refused. This is subject to a 4-week notice period, during which you will remain liable for rent payments.

      If your Visa is revoked after collecting the keys you must notify the property team immediately (within 48 hours of receiving official notification) by emailing [email protected] or your property email address if in residence.

      You will be required to provide written or email confirmation that the Visa has been revoked by providing official documentation from UK Visas & Immigration, and a letter from the University confirming your release and you will be unable to remain at the property.
    • If you’re paying in instalments, your first payment is due 14 days before your contract start date. If you’re paying in full, you’ll need to settle your rent by 1st August, before the contract begins. It is important to note that your rent needs to be sorted before you can move into your new place. If you’re facing any challenges with this, please reach out to the Property Manager as early as you can. Communication is key to avoiding any issues!

      If your student loan schedule doesn’t line up with our rent dates, we may be able to help. With approval from the Property Manager* and the right supporting documents, you may be able to defer your first rent payment to match your loan.

      If agreed, you’ll need to pay a minimum of 2 weeks’ rent* before moving in, and there’s a £50 admin fee to set up the deferred payment schedule. This, too, needs to be paid before you move in.

      *If you wish to defer payment for Brayford Quay in Lincoln, a minimum of 4 weeks rent is required, payable before moving in.

      At EVO Student, we’re here to make things as smooth and flexible as possible for you. Just keep us in the loop, and we’ll work together to ensure everything’s in place for your move-in day!

The tenant must have a valid tenancy agreement of thirty (30) weeks or more (unless stated otherwise) and have paid the rent due under the tenancy agreement, without any outstanding rent or other sums due to us or the landlord to be eligible to receive any incentive or promotion. If there remains rent or other sums owing for the duration of the Promotion Payment Period, rendering the incentive or promotion unable to be paid during this Period, the incentive or promotion will lapse and it will not be paid.

      2. Withdrawal from the tenancy agreement at any point invalidates all promotions and/or offers and any promotional credit paid, or value of goods given, may be recovered either through cash repayment or from the tenant’s deposit.

      3. For a promotion, offer or other incentive to be valid, the tenant must have complied with all obligations set out in the tenancy agreement or otherwise.

      4. In order for a promotion, offer or other incentive to be claimed, the relevant, valid, and correct promotional code must be entered by the tenant at the time of booking by either entering the code online or submitting the code to an authorised Homes for Students (“HFS”), Prestige Student Living (“PSL”), EVO Student (“EVO”), Essential Student Living (“ESL”), Urban Student Life (“USL”) and/or UKStudenthouses.com (“UKSH”) employee, who is taking the booking. HFS, PSL, EVO, ESL, USL and UKSH, as well as any other trading name or brand of HFS shall hereby be collectively referred to as HFS. A code submitted after the time of booking will not be valid. Incorrect codes submitted FOR ANY REASON will not be valid and will not be eligible for payment. HFS accepts no responsibility for codes not received by us or incorrectly input into the system by the tenant, HFS staff, agents, marketing channels or services, or by any other person or automated system. It is the responsibility of the tenant to ensure the code is correctly input.

      5. If a promotion, offer or other incentive has been claimed and includes the payment of cashback or some other form of financial payment, it is the tenant’s responsibility to ensure the correct payment information is provided to HFS in order for HFS to complete the promotion, offer or other incentive and HFS has no liability for non-payment or non-delivery of any incentive, promotion and/or offer due to incorrect details being provided by the tenant. Any such payments sent to the incorrect bank account will not be recoverable and/or will be subject to a recovery fee. Payments will be made to UK bank accounts only, and it is the responsibility of the tenant to ensure they will have a UK bank account to receive any promotional payment. If no UK bank account is made available for payment before the end of the Promotion Payment Period, the incentive or promotion will lapse and it will not be paid.

      6. HFS will use reasonable endeavours during the ‘Promotion Payment Period’ to reach the tenant to request information to allow it to make payment, fulfil the promotion or offer, or apply the discount, including UK bank account details if applicable. The Promotion Payment Period lasts 3 calendar months from the contract start date which created the eligibility for the promotion. If such information is not received before the end of the Promotion Payment Period following reasonable endeavours by HFS to obtain it, HFS reserves the right to issue an alternative, or withdraw the incentive, promotion and/or offer at its absolute discretion.

      7. Promotions, offers, or other incentives are non-transferable.

      8. Goods and vouchers issued by HFS have no value, are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or anything else.

      9. The time between correctly accepting any promotion, offer or other incentive and it being credited to your account and/or delivered may vary. HFS shall not be liable for any delays in this regard or for any consequences of any delays, which may occur.

      10. Promotions, offers and/or incentives cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion, offer and/or other incentive. Attempting to use multiple promotions, offers and/or incentives may result in all promotions, offers and/or incentives being withdrawn.

      11. All promotions, offers and/or incentives are subject to availability and HFS retains total discretion as to whether to honour a promotion, offer and/or incentive or not.

      12. HFS reserves the right to amend the Terms, the parameters of any promotion, offer and/or incentive or to discontinue any and all promotions, offers and/or incentives at any time, without notice.

      13. Claiming any promotion, offer and/or incentive, and/or inputting a promotional code, and/or requesting a promotional code to be input by someone else implies acceptance of the Terms.

      14. Certain promotions, offers and/or incentives are unavailable at certain properties, in certain cities, or on certain room or contract types.

      15. HFS has sole discretion to withhold or cancel the payment and/or delivery of any promotion, offer and/or incentive if the Terms have not been complied with, or for any other reason.

    • Our full termination policy is detailed for you within the booking section of our website. You can also read it on the Documents page.

      Please read it carefully and ensure that you fully understand it.

      You can cancel your booking up to 7 days after you accept your offer or pay your deposit (the Initial Cancellation Period), providing you have not already moved in to the property and we will refund your security deposit in full. Deposits will normally be refunded within 28 working days of cancellation, however our legal obligation as a landlord is to secure all deposits with a third party protection scheme. In the event that your deposit has already been sent to the protection scheme by the time you cancel your booking, your refund could take up to 60 days to be refunded due to the protection scheme’s processing period and your deposit refund will come directly from them – you will need your repayment ID which will be sent to you directly by the protection scheme. If the deposit has already been sent to the deposit protection scheme, unfortunately, we are unable to influence their processing time.

      If you cancel your booking after the 7 day Initial Cancellation Period, you will remain liable for the weekly rent (for each and every week or part week) until we are able to re-let the room. If we are able to re-let the room we will release you from the agreement upon payment of a £50 variation of contract fee which we will recover by retaining part or all of your deposit. If you have paid a lower deposit amount, that’s the amount that will be retained.
