b. You are not in residence in your Room between 18 January 2021 and 7 March 2021 (the Eligible Window); and
c. You have completed and submitted the web form application for the Discount by 23:59pm on 14 February 2021; and
d. You have no outstanding payments on your account as at 14 February 2021 (i.e., all your Rent Instalments per your Payment Schedule, up to and including any falling due on or before 14 February 2021, have been paid in full); and

f. In order to be eligible to participate in the Extension, your current tenancy must end by 31 July 2021.

3. Once you complete and submit the web form application in accordance with these T&Cs, Unite Students will then assess whether you meet the Eligibility Criteria. We will inform you whether you have been successful in meeting the Eligibility Criteria by the end of March 2021.

If you meet the Eligibility Criteria (and any other requirements under the T&Cs), you will be entitled to an ex-gratia goodwill credit equivalent to 3.5 weeks of the weekly rental amount payable under your Tenancy Agreement (the Goodwill Amount) (based on the Discount you are applying for being 50% of the weekly price per your Tenancy Agreement, over the 7 week period 18 January 2021 to 7 March 2021).

4. The Goodwill Amount will be credited to your account and a subsequent Rent Instalment will be reduced by the Goodwill Amount. This deduction may be applied to any subsequent instalments if more than one remains payable.

5. If you have no further instalments due (for example if you paid all your Rent in advance), we will contact you to arrange payment of the Goodwill Amount to you, which will be processed when you check out.

6. Unite Students reserves the right to switch off Wi-Fi services to the Room of any Successful Applicant for the duration of the Eligible Window.

7. Unite Students cannot guarantee that a 4-week summer extension will be in the same room/property. If your current room is not available for a summer extension, we may offer an alternative room to you if one is available. In this circumstance, you may need to share with new flatmates.
