Nomination properties
Chantry Court and Woodland Court are nomination properties.
This means that you apply to live in them via the University's application process, but your tenancy agreement is with the third-party provider and you pay rent directly to them.
We are involved in processes relating to your tenancy throughout your stay, and you still have access to the same services, including wellbeing support.
Some details around cancellations and rent in advance payment are different to the standard University policies. Your accommodation contract will reflect these policies.

- The room will be held for you, but your reservation is not yet confirmed.

Before the tenancy start date, you can cancel your accommodation by emailing student.enquiries@a2dominion.co.uk and student-accommodation@bristol.ac.uk. If you do not tell us you want to cancel your accommodation before the tenancy commencement date, you will still need to pay all rent and costs associated with the tenancy.
If you cancel your tenancy after the tenancy start date, you will have to pay all accommodation fees due under your Tenancy Agreement, unless a replacement tenant is found for your room. If there is a replacement tenant, we will release you from your Tenancy Agreement from the start date of the replacement tenant's new Tenancy Agreement. You will be charged up to £50 to cover our costs of preparing the room and tenancy for the replacement tenant. If no replacement tenant is found, you will still need to pay all costs due under your Tenancy Agreement.
A2Dominion will send you details about how to pay your rent. You can choose to pay in full or in three instalments, in September, January and May (the date and amount depends on your room type).
