tenancy transfer
Does anyone know how to transfer a tenancy for the summer to get back some of the student finance? Seems like such a wast when it's going to be empty all over the summer.

Are you in private purpose built student accommodation, uni owned halls of residence or a private rental?
Your first step is to read the tenancy agreement as it relates to subletting or ending it early, if there is a fee and seek permission of the landlord.
Shelter is a housing advice charity so you can consult their website to understand your options and obligations.
It can be hard to find a summer only tenant. Firstly there is a glut caused by students leaving their accommodation early.
Secondly, the landlord may not want a short term tenant for a number of reasons.

Thanks, I will consult the agreement. They have not offered to finish the tenancy early but have said that if I can find someone by 4th June they can transfer the tenancy. If I cannot end it early then do you think it would be an option to offer someone the room much cheaper than I got it for so I can at least get some of the money back? It had crossed my mind that there would be a glut of rooms this time of year but I recently read a newspaper article saying that many international students in Wales are rough-sleeping in uni buildings as there is a lack of affordable housing. I was also thinking that as it's Swansea a student might want to go and work there in the summer to earn money. I imagine there's mroe work when the tourists arrive for the summer.

They should have a published policy for a takeover of your tenancy, such as any admin fees, who they would regard as suitable as a replacement tenant (to prevent a male postgrad from moving into a female only undergraduate flat, for example ), the process etc.
