Terms and conditions
Your contract
When you sign your licence to occupy you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. You also
agree to abide by the Student Conduct Regulations and the Halls Regulations. You should read these
before you sign so that you understand what they cover.
Changing your allocation
The University reserves the right to change your
room prior to arrival, within the same hall. The
University also reserves the right to change your
room allocation to a different hall as part of a
disciplinary process.
Non-payment of hall fees
When you sign your licence, you are agreeing to
pay your rent. If you do not pay you will be served
with a 28 day Notice to Quit which will mean you
have to leave your accommodation. Any money
you owe us will be recovered through a legal
process where necessary. If we need to go down
this route, in addition to paying that you owe, you
will need to pay legal costs and interest. Interest
is charged at the statutory rate above the Bank of
England Base Rate (please see gov.co.uk for more
information.)
You remain liable for the rent until a replacement
student takes over your contract. Your access to
University facilities may also be affected.
Booking Confirmation Payment
When you book any room in a hall of residence or
shared house you will need to pay a £230 booking
confirmation payment. This payment acts as a
reservation deposit and is not refundable if you do
not take up your room. If you move in then £230
will be credited to your accommodation payment
account. If your contract is terminated early we will
retain this £230. If you owe more than £230 you
will be charged for the remaining money owed.
If you accept a room at Cheney Student Village
you will need to pay an additional damage deposit
of £200.
Ending your Licence to Occupy
You will only be released from your Licence to
Occupy if:
a) you find another eligible student to take over
your room. They must be a full-time Oxford
Brookes Student not already living in university
accommodation. The Accommodation Bureau
reserves the right not to agree to a particular
replacement if they are considered unsuitable;
b) we can find another student to take over your
room from our hall waiting list;
c) you are no longer an enrolled full-time student
at Oxford Brookes. You must have returned
your key to the hall office and notified the
Accommodation Bureau that you have an
approved temporary or permanent withdrawal
from the university.
If we do end your licence to occupy you will
still be responsible for any contract breach
that occurred while you were in contract. This
includes any money you owe.
