Application Cancellation Policy

If the applicant is unsuccessful in their application to their chosen college and wishes to cancel the accommodation, the applicant must cancel by email by close of business on the 15^th August 2025. Cancellations by telephone will not be accepted.

In the event of cancellation by the aforementioned date, a €100 cancellation fee will be deducted from the booking deposit and the remainder refunded. Refunds will be issued by bank transfer only. If the applicant cancels after the cut-off date outlined above no refund will be issued and the full security deposit will be retained.

An exception will be made for 1st year students waiting on CAO offers – if they cancel within 48 hours of the release of 1st round CAO offers, a cancellation fee of €100 will be applied and the balance of their deposit will be refunded. However if they cancel later than 48 hours after 1st round CAO offers are released they will lose the full deposit.

Tenant Cancellation Policy

If the tenant cancels after having paid the first rental instalment, or at any time during the course of the lease agreement, a refund of rent will only be made after the bed-space has been resold and paid for. The cancelling tenant is responsible for rent for any period up until the new tenant moves in. Grove Island Student Village is not obliged to find a replacement tenant. If a replacement is not found the tenant may be held liable for any outstanding rent for the duration of the fixed term lease.

Failure to refill the bed space will result in the tenant losing all monies paid. If a replacement tenant is found partial rental refund will be processed from when the new tenant moves in.    After check in, any electricity prepayment applied to the pre-paid meter cannot be refunded. The utilities fee will be refunded on a pro rata basis from the date of the payment of the replacement tenant. Bill Management fee is non refundable. If a replacement tenant is found, once the tenant has departed an inspection of the property will have to take place before any monies due to the outgoing tenant can be refunded. Any rent arrears, damages, cleaning issues or missing inventory will be deducted from these monies.

 Please note that when a student leaves, management has the right to move another resident into that student’s vacant room.  If this occurs, the student must still find a replacement for the room which is vacant.
