Common use of Alternative Accommodation Clause in Contracts

Alternative Accommodation. If for any reason beyond the University’s control the Accommodation is not ready for occupation at the start of the Period of Residence (for example, if a prior occupier has refused to leave, or if the Accommodation needs work carrying out to it) or if it is needed for a student with a disability the University will offer the Student alternative accommodation and the Student will accept it (provided it is comparable or better). Where the alternative accommodation is in the same Residence as the Accommodation, and of the same or better type, and in good repair and condition, it shall be regarded as comparable and suitable, and shall not constitute a variation to what the University agreed to provide. Where the alternative accommodation is not in the same Residence as the Accommodation, or is not in a building within 2km of the Accommodation, the Student shall be entitled to terminate this agreement if the Accommodation is still not ready for occupation after the first 4 weeks of the Period of Residence, as an alternative to accepting the substituted accommodation. If the alternative accommodation would normally be let at a lower rent than the Accommodation, the Student need only pay the lower rent during the period s/he occupies the substituted room.
