Backing out of student house

I’ve paid deposit for a student house but have found a safer house to live in. Will I get my deposit back?
Depends on the refund terms of the agreement.

It says in the contract ‘The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on the signing of this 'Agreement the amount of the Deposit (if any specified) and the first payment of Rent’

That’s regarding the initial payment.

What does it say about the ending the agreement early?

It doesn’t say anything in the contract about ending the contract early

I would ask your Student Union to review it and locate the relevant section. Failing that, the landlord or letting agent should be able to advise.
