What happens if I leave the uni accommodation?

My first piece of advice would be speak to the uni directly. You can only reach a small circle of people but the uni can cast a much wider net in helping you search. They may have someone on the other campus in the same situation looking for a swap.

Following on from that if they say no then the only thing you can do is stay where you are. You're legally contracted to pay the rent or it will fall onto your guarantor to pay it. If you just leave and don't pay they'll just send debt collecters after you, which will put a massive mark on your credit file

Thank you! I've done what you advice for a week now. They won't help me look for anyone if I don't hand in the keys and still they can´t guarantee to find someone so I don't know what to do. I think this contracts are made to take advantage of students, but is still my fault for signing.

Hi! I would like to know if anyone's had this problem. I want to leave my uni accommodation, not because I'm leaving this uni, but bc my lectures are in another campus. I've tried everything for someone to take over my contract or swap rooms but nobody wants to live here!
Has anyone left without paying the whole year? I just don't have the money to pay two contracts. What could happen if I just left? I'm really desperate

not much else you could have done, every student rent contract is for 9-12 months and you can't get out of it without finding a replacement

you can speak to your accommodation and see if there's any chance they will make an exception, some places are prepared to do this... is there another accommodation managed by the same company in the location you want? they may allow you to transfer your tenancy to a different location

if they don't agree DO NOT try and chance it, they will pursue you for the rent and they will start legal proceedings if you don't pay which could land you with a much bigger bill - it's just not worth it

the chances are that you're stuck... a week isn't long to look for a replacement and people have disagreements with flatmates and want to leave their room all through the year so it's possible that while you're stuck for now you might not be all year

Have you actually spoken to your university accomodation team?

"3.1 Request to move room
Please contact the University’s Student Accommodation Services for details of availability. Please note that we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request. A charge of £30.00 per person will be payable if a move is granted."

Nothing about having to hand in your keys before they try to find someone - which sounds very odd anyway...

And, if they can't or won't help, speak to a welfare officer at your student union.

Yes, I've talked to them on the phone and they told me they couldn't help me look for anyone if I was still living in the halls because they had to have the room ready for another person to move in. I'm going to notts to talk to them in person see what if there's anything else I can do.

I hadn't thought about that, thank you!
