I. Unsubscribe Rules in England

(I) Unsubscribe during the Reservation Stage (Reservation Agreement + Deposit Related)

1. Cooling-off Period Provision: After signing the reservation agreement and paying the deposit, a 3-day cooling-off period is enjoyed (the starting date is the date of signing the reservation agreement or the date of paying the deposit, whichever is earlier); if the unsubscribe application is submitted within the cooling-off period, the unsubscribe can be processed normally and the deposit will be fully refunded.
2. Responsibility after the Cooling-off Period: If unsubscribing after more than 3 days of the cooling-off period, the deposit will be fully withheld and not refunded.
3. Deposit Deduction: When signing the formal lease agreement subsequently, the paid deposit can be directly deducted from the first installment of rent.

(II) Unsubscribe during the Lease Agreement Period (Not Meeting Special Unsubscribe Conditions)

1. Basic Responsibility: If the following "Special Unsubscribe Conditions" are not met, the tenant shall pay all the rent within the lease agreement period in full, and the apartment party has no obligation to actively terminate the lease.
2. Discretionary Termination by the Apartment Party: Only with the full and discretionary consent of the apartment party can the lease obligation be terminated; if the lease term has started, the tenant shall pay the rent for 4 weeks from the date of the written notice of termination of the lease by the apartment party (this fee can be waived if a qualified alternative tenant is found).

(III) Alternative Tenant Rules (Core Disclaimer Approach)

1. Application Prerequisite: The tenant shall settle all outstanding fees (including rent, sundry fees, etc.), otherwise the apartment party has the right to refuse to accept the alternative tenant and terminate the lease.
2. Standards for Qualified Alternative Tenants: ① Must be a student and meet the accommodation preferences of the rented room (such as a female-only apartment); ② Have no rent arrears under other lease agreements of the supplier; ③ Not be an existing tenant and have no other room reservations for the 2026/27 academic year; ④ Need to sign a complete lease agreement for the remaining lease term and pay the deposit as required.
3. Responsibility Release Node: After the alternative tenant signs the lease agreement and pays the deposit in full, the original tenant is completely released from the lease obligation and rent payment responsibility from the start date of the alternative tenant's lease term.
4. Fees and Terms: A non-refundable lease transfer management fee of £50 shall be paid; the alternative tenant application is only allowed until May 31, 2027, and will no longer be accepted on and after June 1, 2027.

(IV) Special Unsubscribe Conditions (Exemption from Full Rent Liability)

1. Applicable Situations (Sufficient Supporting Materials Required): ① Visa rejection (the situation of visa revocation after approval does not apply); ② Academic performance not meeting the standard: Not achieving the grades required for enrollment in the 2026/27 academic year and losing the student status; ③ Special circumstances: Meeting the lease agreement unsubscribe conditions specified in the guidelines (such as serious health problems, death of a relative, etc.).
2. Proof Material Requirements: Official written documents shall be provided, including but not limited to UCAS notifications, visa agency/embassy rejection letters, medical certificates, etc., and the validity of the materials shall be reasonably determined by the apartment party; failure to provide or insufficient materials will delay the review.
3. Unsubscribe Timeliness and Responsibility Definition: ① Before the start of the lease term + Not Checked In: Complete the submission of qualified materials within 4 weeks after submitting the unsubscribe application, and the lease obligation will be terminated from the start date of the lease term; ② After the start of the lease term: The lease obligation will be terminated 4 weeks after submitting the qualified materials, and rent shall be paid normally during this period.
4. Deposit Handling: If the damage deposit has been paid, it will be refunded after the lease is terminated, but the outstanding rent and room/apartment damage repair costs (if checked in) shall be deducted.
